Equivalent units are used to apportion cost between completed units and work in progress. They represent notional whole units which represent incomplete work.

Under the first in first method , to account for completed units during a production period the opening inventory units are assumed to completed first before newly the newly introduced units.

So we can work out the equivalents units as follows:

Fully worked units :These represent units started this period of production and completed in the same period. This is given as 110,000 units

Equivalent units (EU)

Item unit Workings EU

Opening inventory 25,000 0% × 25,000 = 0

Fully worked 110,000 100% × 110,000 = 110,000

Closing inventory 30,000 100%× 30,000 = 30,000

Total equivalent unit of material 140,000

Note that for the opening inventory already 100% material work has been done the preceding period , so there wont be any work left to be done in respect of materials.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

15 years

Explanation:

The target accumulated future amount is the future value of the initial investment(present value), hence, using the future value formula provided below we can determine the investment time horizon in years required to accumulate the target amount:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=$1,200,000

PV=$287,270

r=10%

n=investment period in years=unknown

$1,200,000=$287,270*(1+10%)^n

$1,200,000/$287,270=(1+10%)^n

$1,200,000/$287,270=(1.10)^n

take log of both sides

ln($1,200,000/$287,270)=n ln(1.10)

n=ln($1,200,000/$287,270)/ln(1.10)

n=15.00years
