Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

A).Present Value of the Cash Flow for the Lump Sum Payout

= Prize of Lottery Amount × (1 -Tax Rate)

= $506,300 × (1 - 0.46)

= $506,300 × 0.54

= $273,402

B).Present Value of the Cash Flows for Annuity Payout is

= Annuity Payment × (1 - Tax Rate) × PVIFA 8%,20 Years × (1  + Rate of Return)

= $37,000 × (1 - 0.26) × 9.8181 × (1 + .08)

= $37,000 × 0.74 × 9.8181 × 1.08

= $290,325

c). According to the analysis, $290,325 is more than the $273,402, So he should be chooses option (b) $290,325 as a payout option.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Phantom profit= $500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchased: 230 units for $8

Purchased: 330 units for $9

Purchased: 270 units for $10.

At the end of the month, 310 units remained.

The method with the highest ending inventory will result in the lowest cost of goods sold.

First, we need to calculate the ending inventory under FIFO method.

FIFO (first-in, first-out):

Ending inventory= 270*10 + 40*9= $3,060

Now, we calculate the ending inventory under the LIFO method and compare it with FIFO.

LIFO (last-in, first-out)

Ending inventory= 230*8  + 80*9= $2,560

Phantom profit= 3,060 - 2,560= $500
