Required investment ​                  $1,810,000 ​                $2,000,000

Estimated life                                     6 years                        6 years

Estimated residual value                ​$80,000                       ​$40,000

Estimated depreciable cost       $1,730,000                  $1,960,000

Average depreciable cost            $288,333                    $326,667

Estimated annual cash inflows

 over the next 10 years ​              $700,000 ​                    $800,000

Average cash inflows                    $70,000                       $80,000

Required rate of return                    13%                               13%

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

a. Gross Profit =$89, Ending Inventory = $640

b. Gross Profit =$83, Ending Inventory = $631

c. Gross Profit =$86, Ending Inventory = $634

Explanation:

FIFO

<u>a.Gross Profit</u>

Sales ( 1 unit × $403)                      $403

Less Cost of Sales ( 1 unit × $314) ($314)

Gross Profit                                       $89

<u>b. Ending Inventory</u>

Ending Inventory = Units Left × Earliest Price

                            = 2 units × $320

                            = $640

LIFO

<u>a.Gross Profit</u>

Sales ( 1 unit × $403)                        $403

Less Cost of Sales ( 1 unit × $320) ($320)

Gross Profit                                         $83

<u>b. Ending Inventory</u>

Ending Inventory : 1 unit × $314 =  $314

                               1 unit × $317 =  $317

                              Total              =  $631

Weighted Average Cost method

<u>a.Gross Profit</u>

Sales ( 1 unit × $403)                      $403

Less Cost of Sales ( 1 unit × $317) ($317)

Gross Profit                                       $86

<u>b. Ending Inventory</u>

Ending Inventory = Units Left × Average Price

                            = 2 units × $317

                            = $634

rewona [7]

Answer:

$205,000

Explanation:

Let us assume Owners' equity at the beginning be X

So, the Increase in Owners' equity is $260,000 - X

As we know that

Accounting equation is

Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity

So,

Total Increase in Assets = Total Increase in Liabilities + Increase in Owners' equity

$134,000 = $79,000 + $260,000 - X

$134,000 = $339,000 - X

So, the X =

= $339,000 - $134,000

= $205,000
