Answer:

Worth of scholarship today =  $1,000,000

Explanation:

<em>The value of the scholarship can be determined using the present value of a growing perpetuity. A growing perpetuity is an indefinite annual payment that increases by a constant percentage.</em>

<em>The applicable formula is given below;</em>

<em>PV = A/r-g</em>

A-annual payment  one year from now - 35,000

r- interest discount rate - 9.,

g- growth rate - 5.5

The value of the gifts today

= 35,000/(0.09-0.055)

= $1,000,000

An income statement for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter of the year is presented below: Sam's Bookstore Income Statement F
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is 0.84 or 84 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin = Contribution ÷ Sales

Where,

<em>Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs</em>

where,

Sales :

Sales = $ 900,000

Number of Books Sold = $ 900,000 ÷ $50

                                      = 18,000 books

Variable Costs Calculation :

Cost of goods sold                                                           $630,000

Variable selling expenses ($5 × 18,000 books)               $90,000

Variable administrative expenses( 4% × $ 900,000)       $36,000

Total Variable Costs                                                         $756,000

Therefore,

Contribution Margin =  $756,000÷  $ 900,000

                                  = 0.84 or 84 %

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
