Compound interest is when you receive interest on both your interest income and your savings.

If this value was compounded in 5 years, then we are going to utilize the compound interest formula to solve it.

A = p(1+r)^n

Where A be the amount accumulated for the entire period. 

p be the Money invested

r be the Interest rate per year

n be the period the money was invested. 

A = 5000(1+4/100)^5

The exponential function is

A=5000*1.04^5

= 5000 * 1.216652902

= 6,083.264512

The amount after 5 years be $6,083.26

The compound interest amount after 5 years be $6,083.26.

A company uses the periodic average cost method to account for inventory. For the year, the company had the following beginning
labwork [276]

Answer:

The amount reported for ending inventory is incorrect because management used a simple average instead of weighted-average to calculate the unit cost of inventory for the year.

Explanation:

a. Using weighted-average

Number of units available for sales = 100 + 400 + 800 = 1,300 units

Cost inventory available for sale = (100 * $2,800) + (400 * $3,000) + (800 * $3,200) = $4,040,000

Periodic cost per unit = $4,040,000 / 1,300 = $3,107.69

Total periodic ending inventory = $3,107.69 * 300 = $932,307.69  

b. Using simple average

Inventory cost per unit = ($2,800 + $3,000 + $3,200) / 3 = $3,000  

Total ending inventory = $3,000 * 300 = $900,000

Decision

The correct ending inventory should be $932,307.69  

Therefore, the amount reported for ending inventory is incorrect because management used a simple average instead of weighted-average to calculate the unit cost of inventory for the year.
