Answer:

The highest net loss of $1,562.50 (i.e. – $1,562.50)

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the following equation:

Highest net profit possible = British pounds put option price per unit × Units of the pound option

                                                = $0.05 x 31,250

Highest net profit possible = $1,562.50

However, based on the information provided in the question, the option will not be exercised and this will result into the highest net loss of $1,562.50 (i.e. – $1,562.50).

Polk Company manufactures basketballs. Materials are added at the beginning of the production process and conversion costs are i
wariber [46]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.

1. Calculation of the equivalent units

<u>Particulars         Physical units   %     Material   %      Conversion cost</u>

Units transferred

out                          900             100%    900     100%     900

Ending

work in process     600            100%     600     40%       240

Equivalent

units                                                        1,500                  1,140

2. Cost per equivalent unit is

Particulars         Material      Conversion cost

Beginning

inventory           $750               $600

Cost during

period                $2,400            $2,820

Total cost          $3,150             $3,420

Divided by

Equivalent

units                   $1,500            $1,140

Cost per

equivalent unit    $2.1              $3

3. Transferred out cost is

= (3 + 2.1) × 900

= $4,590

And, the ending work in process cost is

= (600 ×$2.1) + (240 × $3)

= $1,960

2. Now the preparation of the production report is presented below:

Beginning work in process       $1,350

Cost during period                    $5,220

Total cost accounted for           $6,570

Transferred out cost                   $4,590

Ending work in process              $1,960

Total cost accounted as             $6,570

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$489,512.15

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

We are supposed to determine the present value

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = 84,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 113,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 125,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 130,000

I = 6%

PV =  387,739.47

387,739.47(1.06)^4 = $489,512.15

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute
