Freight car loadings over an 18-week period at a busy port are as follows: a- determine a linear trend line for expected freight car loadings. (round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 3 decimal places.)

formula110.mml = + t
b- use the trend equation to predict expected loadings for weeks 20 and 21. (round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 3 decimal places.)

the forecasted demand for week 20 and 21 is and respectively.

c- the manager intends to install new equipment when the volume exceeds 776 loadings per week. assuming the current trend continues, the loading volume will reach that level in approximately how many more weeks? (round your intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)

it would take approximately more weeks.

Quick calculate the roi dollar amount and percentage for these example investments. a. you invest $50 in a government bond that says you can redeem it a year later for $55. use the instructions in lesson 3 to calculate the roi dollar amount and percentage. (3.0 points) tip: subtract the initial investment from the total return to get the roi dollar amount. then divide the roi dollar amount by the initial investment, and multiply that number by 100 to get the percentage. b. you invest $200 in stocks and sell them one year later for $230. use the instructions in lesson 3 to calculate the roi dollar amount and percentage. (3.0 points) tip: subtract the initial investment from the total return to get the roi dollar amount. then divide the roi dollar amount by the initial investment, and multiply that number by 100 to get the percentage.
