In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price

he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 6% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2018 (392 years later)?

Answer:

$199,576,970,307.56

Explanation:

Given:

Price paid for the island = $24

Annual interest rate, r = 6%

Duration, n = 392 years

Now,

Future value is given as:

Future value = Present value × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

Future value = $24 × ( 1 + 0.06 )³⁹²

or

Future value = $24 × 8315707096.148

or

Future value = $199,576,970,307.56

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Purchases= 408,000 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

2nd Q= 99,000 units

3rd= 109,000 units

Four pounds of material A are required for each unit produced.

Desired ending inventory= 30% of the next quarter's production

<u>To calculate the purchases for the second quarter, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= (99,000*4) + (109,000*4)*0.3 - (99,000*4)*0.3

Purchases= 396,000 + 130,800 - 118,800

Purchases= 408,000 pounds

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w
OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

          Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

          Actual production= 11,700 units.

         The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

         The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.  

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= \textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= \$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
