Answer:

We will be considering design A.

Explanation:

By applying B/C analysis following interpretation take place:

For Design A:

Investment (I) = USD 400,000

Cost (C) = USD 50,000 (P/A) which is (8%,15)

we will get USD 427,974

For Design B:

Investment (I)= USD 300,000

Cost (C) = USD 80,000 (P/A) which is (8%,15)

we will get USD 684,758

  • We will select the most effective alternative based on their least cost which is (I+C) or their modified benefit to cost ratio. Using the modified B/C ratio which is:

B/C modified:

= (Cost of A- Cost of B) ) / (Investment of A - Investment of B)  

= (427,974 - 684,758))/(400,000-300,000)

= 2.56 Answer

madreJ [45]

Answer:

COGS overstated for 5,000

Explanation:

<em>The COGS will be overstated  for the same ammount,</em> that is because of the inventory identity.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + COGS

If ending Inventory has a problem, it will be transferred to COGS as well to equalize the formula

If ending Inventory is understated it means their alue is less than it's real value,

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase \neq Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS

so to balance the formula COGS need to be overstated.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS(Real COGS + EI error)
