The computation of the horizontal value is shown below:

FCF1 = (100 × 1.06) = 106

FCF2  = (106 × 1.06) = 112.36

FCF3 = (112.36 × 1.06) = 119.1016

FCF4  = (119.1016 × 1.06) = 126.247696

FCF5  = (126.247696 × 1.06) = 133.8225578

Concord Corporation reported the following year-end information: Beginning work in process inventory $1080000 Beginning raw mate
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Concord Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is  $2,490,000

Explanation:

For computing the cost of goods manufactured, we have to use the formula which is given below:

= Opening Work in progress inventory + Direct material used + direct labor + manufacturing overhead - ending work in progress inventory

In the given question, the direct material used is not given, so we have to compute it. The formula is given below:

= Opening balance of raw material inventory + Purchase of raw material - ending balance of raw material inventory

= $300,000 + $930,000 - $480,000

= $750,000

And, the other values will remain the same.

So, the answer would be equal to

= $1,080,000 + $750,000 + $870,000 + $690,000 - $900,000

= $2,490,000

Hence, Concord Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is  $2,490,000
