SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the total cost assignable to the ending work in process inventory

First step is to calculate the ending Materials Cost:

Ending Materials Cost = [(2,500 units × $10]

Ending Materials Cost = $25,000

Second Step is to calculate the ending Conversion Cost:

Ending Conversion Cost = [(2,500 units × 40%) × $30]

Ending Conversion Cost = [(1,000) × $30]

Ending Conversion Cost = $30,000

Last step is to calculate the total cost assignable to the Ending work in process inventory cost using this formula

Ending work in process inventory cost = Ending Materials Cost + Ending Conversion Cost

Let plug in the formula

Ending work in process inventory cost = $25,000 + $30,000

Ending work in process inventory cost = $55,000

Therefore the total cost assignable to the ending work in process inventory is $55,000

g You will be receiving cash flows of: $2,000 today, $3,000 at end of year 1, $5,000 at end of year 3, and $7,000 at end of year

enot [183]

Answer:

The present value of the cashflows will be $12830.30

Explanation:

The present value of the cashflows can be calculated by dividing the cash flows by the appropriate discount rate and for the appropriate time period.

The present value of the given cash flows will be,

Present Value = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)^2 + .... + CFn / (1+r)^n

As the first payment is received today, it will already be in the present value so it will not be discounted.

Present value = 2000 + 3000 / (1+0.1) + 5000 / (1+0.1)^3 + 7000 / (1+0.1)^5

Present value = $12830.295 rounded off to $12830.30
