C) 143x^4 + 78x^4 + 6x^4 + 76
C) 143x^4 + 78x^4 + 6x^4 + 76 - tis the only term where the x's can be added together to get two
terms
Which of the following is the trinomial expression?
,A) 4x^3 + 6x^4 +12x^3 + 45x^4 +6
B) 143x^4 + 3x^4
C) 143x^4 + 78x^4 + 6x^4 + 76
A) 4x^3 + 6x^4 +12x^3 + 45x^4 +6 - its the only term where the x's can be added together to get

True/False: the Contribution Margin is the amount that can be contributed to fixed costs.

Time Series Analysis
A forecasting method that uses historical sales data to discover patterns in the firm's sales over
time and generally involves trend, cycle, seasonal, and random factor analyses
Simple Average
, Found by adding the values of all the data samples and dividing the sum by the number of
samples
Moving Average
similar to simple average except that this method only incorporates the most recent data samples
Weighted Average
includes as many data samples as desired and assigns "weights" or measures of importance to
each
Weighed moving average
A method of combining the moving average and the weighted average
Trend Analysis
uses past actual values to forecast; however, it is used when there is a noticeable trend over time
True/False: When forecasting data that are arranged in time periods, i.e., a time series analysis,
there are two different approaches: trend analysis and averaging.
True
