Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$18,904.80

Explanation:

Calculation for what will be the aftertax cash flow from the sales

First step is to calculate the Accumulated Depreciation

Accumulated Depreciation = (0.2 + 0.32)*39,000 Accumulated Depreciation= 0.52*39,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $20,280

Second Step is to calculate the Book Value using this formula

Book Value = Initial Cost –Accumulated Depreciation

Let plug in the formula

Book Value = $39,000 - $20,280

Book Value = $18,720

Third step is to calculate the profit using this formula

Profit = Sales value–Book Value

Profit= $19,000 - $18,720

Profit = $280

Fourth Step is to calculate the taxes

Taxes = 0.34*280

Taxes = $95.20

Last step is to calculate the aftertax cash flow from the sale using this formula

Aftertax cash flow from the sale=Assets sold today-Taxes

Let plug in the formula

Aftertax cash flow from the sale= 19,000 - $58.80

Aftertax cash flow from the sale= $18,904.80

Therefore the Aftertax cash flow from the sale will be $18,904.80

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. It added 12,200 units of direct materials during the period
galben [10]

Answer:

Cost of completed units = $158,240

Explanation:

<em>Cost of completed units = Cost per equivalent unit × no of units</em>

<em>Equivalent unit = Degree of completion × units of work</em>

<em>Equivalent units of material</em>

( 9200× 100%)   + (3000×100%) = 12,200 unit

Cost per equivalent unit of material = $97,600/12,200 units= $8

<em>Equivalent units of labour and overhead</em>

(9200× 100%) + (3000× 25%) = 750

Cost per equivalent unit of labour and overhead

=( 73,630+17910)/9950 =$9.2

Cost of completed units

= $(9.2+8)× 9,200 = 158,240

Cost of completed units = $158,240

pickupchik [31]

The correct answer is - allows managers to use the normal distribution as the basis for building some control charts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is the theorem that allows inference from a random sample. It says that:

• The sample mean will likely be towards the population mean within a margin of error

• The margin of error is a multiple of the standard error, which is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. The multiple is determined by the degree of statistical confidence you’re looking for, and the normal deviate corresponding to that — 1.65 for 90% confidence, 1.96 for 95% confidence, etc.
