Production records show that there were 440 units in the beginning inventory, 30% complete, 1,440 units started, and 1,600 units
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The number of units processed is

= Beginning work in process units + completed and started units - transferred out units

= 440 units + 1,440 units - 1,600 units

= 280 units

b. The material cost per unit is

= Total cost ÷ equivalent units

where,

Total cost is

= Opening work in process + material cost

= $2,220 + $6,610

= $8,830

And, the equivalent units is

= Units transferred out + ending work in process

= 1,600 + 280

= 1,880

So, the material cost per unit is

= $8,830 ÷ 1,880 units

= $4.70

c. The conversion cost per unit is

= Total cost ÷ equivalent units

where,

Total cost is

= Opening work in process + labor cost + overhead cost

= $1,720 + $4,800 + $1,300

= $7,820

And, the equivalent units is

= Units transferred out + ending work in process × completion percentage

= 1,600 + 280 × 40%

= 1,712

So, the material cost per unit is

= $7,820 ÷ 1,712 units

= $4.57

An investment offers $6,400 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. If the required return is
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

PV= $62,158.4

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual payment= $6,400

Number of periods= 15 years

Interest rate= 6% = 0.06

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment

FV= {6,400*[(1.06^15) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $148,966.21

<u>Now, the present value:</u>

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 148,966.21 / (1.06^15)

PV= $62,158.4

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont
Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}

P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700}  + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

Journal entries

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entries, first we have to determine the book value of truck which is

= Cost of delivery truck - accumulated depreciation

= $56,000 - $41,300

=  $14,700

Now the journal entries are as follows

a. Cash Dr $14,700

Accumulate depreciation $41,300

      To Delivery truck $56,000

(Being the disposal of the truck is recorded)

b)  Cash Dr $16,400

Accumulate depreciation $41,300

      To Delivery truck $56,000

       To Gain on sale $1,700

(Being the disposal of the truck is recorded)

c) Cash Dr $12,900

Accumulate depreciation $41,300

Loss on sale $1,800

      To Delivery truck $56,000

(Being the disposal of the truck is recorded)
