Answer: $89,537,400

Explanation:

This represents the present value of a growing annuity because the amount received per year is growing by 4%.

= First payment *  \frac{1 - (\frac{1 + Annual growth rate)}{1 + Annual interest rate)}^{no. of years}  }{Annual interest rate - Annual growth rate} \\\\= 10,000,000 *  \frac{1 - (\frac{1 + 0.04)}{1 + 0.12)}^{17}  }{0.12 - 0.04}\\\\= 10,000,000 * 8.95374\\\\= 89,537,400

= $89,537,400

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual units sold

Product R : ($25 - $26) * 123000 = $123000 unfavorable

Product S:($20 - $22) * 162700 = $325400 unfavorable

Product T: ($10 - $20) * 54000 = $540000 unfavorable

Sales volume variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Standard price

Product R : (120000 - 123000) * 26 = $78000 favorable

Product S:(150000 - 162700) * 22 = $279400 favorable

Product T: (20000 - 54000) * 20 = $680000 favorable

Notes:

Actual units:

Product R = $3075000/ $25 = 123000

Product S = $3254000/$20 = 162700

Product T = $540000/$10 = 54000 units
