Budgeted sales of X for December are 18,000 units. At the end of the production process for X, 10% of production units are scrapped as defective. Opening inventories of X for December are budgeted to be 15,000 units and closing inventories will be 11,400 units. All inventories of finished goods must have successfully passed the quality control check. What is the production budget for X for December?

The regression equation Y = 3 + 2X has been calculated from 6 pairs of values, with X ranging from 1 to 10. The correlation coefficient is 0.8. It is estimated that Y = 43 when X = 20. Which of the following are true?
(i) The estimate is not reliable because X is outside the range of the data
(ii) The estimate is not reliable because the correlation is low
(iii) The estimate is reliable
(iv) The estimate is not reliable because the sample is small
In calculating the regression equation linking two variables, the standard formulae for the regression coefficients are given in terms of X and Y. Which of the following is true?
Which of the following is a feasible value for the correlation coefficient?
Over an 18-month period, sales have been found to have an underlying linear trend of y = 7.112 +3.949x, where y is the number of items sold and x represents the month. Monthly deviations from trend have been calculated and month 19 is expected to be 1.12 times the trend value.What is the forecast number of items to be sold in month 19?
Based on the last 15 periods the underlying trend of sales is y = 345.12 - 1.35x. If the 16th period has a seasonal factor of -23.62, assuming an additive forecasting model, what is the forecast for that period, in whole units?
