Answer:

John should opt for the 30 annual end-of-the-year payments of $4 million as that gives the highest present of value of $49,636,164.73  as shown below.

Explanation:

The options are evaluated as follows:

Option 1 $46,000,0000 today

Option 2

The present of value of this option is calculated using the below formula:

Present value of annuity = ((1-(1/((1+i)^n))/i) X PMT

where i=rate=7%

n=10years

PMT=$7m

PV=((1-(1/((1+0.07)^10))/0.07) X 7000000

PV=$ 43,834,929.21  

Option 3

The present value of this option using the formula in option 2 is:

PV=((1-(1/((1+0.07)^30))/0.07) X 4000000

PV=$49,636,164.73  

Hence, the last option is preferable.

b. Average cost of producing one unit of product in the year.

Average cost = Total Cost ÷ Total units produced

Net Income / (Loss)                                                        330,600

Explanation:

<u>Determination of  leather recliners sold during the year.</u>

Units Sold = Opening Finished Inventory  + Units Produced - Ending Finished Inventory

                 = 500 + 4,000 - 700

                 = 3,800

Other Notes :

Include only manufacturing costs in the statement of goods manufactured.

External users would want to see an income statement prepared using an absorption costing system in line with financial reporting standards.
