The manager of a small health clinic would like to use exponential smoothing to forecast demand for emergency services in their facility. If she uses an alpha value of 0.3, what is the mean absolute deviation and tracking signal of her forecasts from Weeks 2-6? Calculate thoroughly using excel and round to one decimal place (Assume that the forecast for Week 1 is 430) the data are provided below. Based on the Tracking Signal are you over or underforecasting? Week Demand in Patients Forecasted Demand 1 430 430 2 255 430 3 506 377.5 4 470 416.05 5 468 432.235 6 365 442.9645 A. MAD=94.236, TS=-0.36875, Overforecasting B. MAD=94.236, TS= 0.36875, Underforecasting C. MAD= 130.12, TS= 2.9711, Underforecasting D. MAD= -6.95, TS = 5, Underforecasting E. MAD= -6.95, TS=5, Overforecasting

Suppose that xtel currently is selling at $40 per share. you buy 500 shares using $15,000 of your own money, borrowing the remainder of the purchase price from your broker. the rate on the margin loan is 8%. a. what is the percentage increase in the net worth of your brokerage account if the price of xtel immediately changes to (a) $44; (b) $40; (c) $36? (leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answers to 2 decimal places.) b. if the maintenance margin is 25%, how low can xtel’s price fall before you get a margin call? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. how would your answer to requirement 2 would change if you had financed the initial purchase with only $10,000 of your own money? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) d. what is the rate of return on your margined position (assuming again that you invest $15,000 of your own money) if xtel is selling after one year at (a) $44; (b) $40; (c) $36? (negative values should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answers to 2 decimal places.) e. continue to assume that a year has passed. how low can xtel’s price fall before you get a margin call? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
