17. Arthur, Murray, and Strauss are equal owners of the AMS company, which in their most recent "value setting meeting" they agreed had a net value of $660,000. They each have a basis in their respective shares of $50,000. Their business buyout agreement requires them to use life insurance as part of a cross purchase plan. Each owner must have a policy equal to the amount necessary to pay 150% of the owner's potential obligation using the most recent value setting. Upon the death of a co-owner the business will be appraised and the survivors must purchase the decedent's interest (borrowing or finding other funds if the life insurance is insufficient).

DistCo, a large warehouse service company in the San Francisco Bay Area, stores pharmaceutical products for customers while they are in transit to local retailers. DistCo can store a maximum of 280,000 cases of products at its present facility. Because their business has been growing, the company's management wonders if they should acquire other warehouses in 2001.

(a) Briefly introduce each time-series method (e.g., moving average, exponential smoothing, linear trend, trend with seasonal factors) used in your forecasting.

(b) Explain how you select the best time-series forecasting model and why it is better than the others are. What is the forecast performance? What quarterly inventory is to be expected in each quarter of 2001?

Hint: You may include the following elements in your answer

· Explain how to measure forecast accuracy using MSE:

o The MSE (mean squared error) is a measure of the quality of an estimator—it is always non-negative, and values closer to zero are better. In statistics, the mean squared error (MSE) measures the average of the squares of the errors—that is, the average squared difference between the estimated values and what is estimated.

· Compare MSE of different methods.

· Explain which method is best and why (by observing patterns in actual data).

· Conclude with your forecast results in 2001

(c) Should DistCo acquire more warehouse capacity in 2001? Please explain and justify your opinion.

(d) What are the potential factors that may affect the forecast accuracy of the model you have selected?

Hint: There are always some factors not be able to consider in time-series analysis. For example, interest rate, GDP, political event, natural event, etc.

Experiment 1 Data:

EXPERIMENT 1: For each test tube, calculate the concentration of H₃O⁺ and pH. You can use the following formula to determine the concentration of HCl. M1×V1=M2×V2 where M₁ and V₁ are the molarity and volume of the first solution, respectively, and M₂ and V₂ are the molarity and volume of the second solution, respectively. Given that HCl is a strong acid, the H₃O⁺ concentration is equal to the HCl concentration, except at very low concentrations (test tubes 6 and 7) where the H₃O⁺ from the dissociation of water (1.00×10−7) becomes significant.

Given that NaOH is a strong base, the HO^– concentration is equal to the NaOH concentration, except at very low concentrations (test tubes 6 and 7) where the HO^– from the dissociation of water (1.00×10−7) becomes significant.
