Answer:

  • <u>$70,264.03</u>

Explanation:

You need to calculate the value of 8 × 12 = 96 different cash flows.

There is not a formula to calculate that, because the<em> $6 dollar increase</em> does not represent growing with a constant rate.

The monthly payments are:

Month            payment ($)

0 (today)             300

1                           306

2                          312

3                          318

n                          306 + 6 (n-1)

96 (last)               876

Then you must create a spreadsheet with these features:

  • Five columns
  • First column is the month, and starts with month 0 (today)
  • Second column is the initial balance, the first balance is 0
  • Third column is the interest: it is calculated as the monthly interest by the initial balance. The monthly interest is 6%/12 = 0.06/12 = 0.005
  • Fourth column is the amount deposited: for month zero it is $300, and every month you add $6.
  • Fith column is the final balance: it is the sum of the initial balance (second column) + interest (third column) + deposit (fourth colum)
  • 96 rows: 8 years × 12months/year = 96 months.
  • The initial balance of each row is equal to the final balance of the previous row.

Here a sample of the first three rows:

Month  Initial balance  Interest                    Deposit     Final balance

 0                  0                   0                          300          300

 1                 300             300×0.005 = 1.5    306          607.5

 2                607.5          607.5×0.005           312          922.54

When you do it up to the row 96, the final balance is <em>the balance in the acccount at the end of the eight years</em>.

The last row of your spreadsheet will show:

96           69,042.81      345.21                    876         70,264.03

Thus, <em>the balance at the end of eight years will be $70,264.03</em>

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Total Equivalent Units Conversion    746,000

Explanation:

Breakfast Cereal Maker

Weighted-Average Inventory Method

Total Equivalent Units

                                     Units               Conversion     Equivalent Units

Particulars                                                   %

Units completed         620,000               100 %             620,000

<u>Add Ending WIP          180,000                70 %               126,000</u>

<u>Total Equivalent Units                                                      746,000</u>

<u />

<em>The total Equivalent units are obtained by adding the percent of the units in the ending work in process inventory to the units completed and transferred out. This is the average weighted method of finding the equivalent units.</em>

<em>As only conversion is required we found out the conversion units only.</em>
