Answer:

$693.16

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today

Using this formula

FV= Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

Let plug in the formula

First step

$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.112)^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.112^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.97522975235

PV= $7,043.618

Second step

$28,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.104)^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 1.104^13

PV= $28,000 ÷ 3.61907808993

PV= $7,736.777

Now let calculate how much less than your brother will you have to deposit today

Deposit today= $7,736.777-$7,043.618

Deposit today= $693.159

Deposit today=$693.16 (Approximately)

Therefore How much less than your brother will you have to deposit today will be $693.16

A producer of felt-tip pens has received a forecast of demand of 31,000 pens for the coming month from its marketing department.
atroni [7]

Answer:

  • a. <em>Break-even quantity:</em> <u>28,000 pens</u>

  • b<em>. Price</em>: <u>$1.51 per pen</u>

Explanation:

1. Break-even quantity

<u>a) Revenue, R(x)</u>

The  monthly revenue is the product of the price by the number of units sold in the month.

Naming x the number of pens sold in the month:

  • R(x) = $1 × x = x

<u>b) Cost, C(x)</u>

<u />

The monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost per month plus the variable costs:

  • C(x) = $21,000 + 0.25 × x = 21,000 + 0.25x

<u>c) Break-even</u>

Break-even is the point when the revenue and the total costs are equal, this is, when the profit is zero. Write the equation and solve:

  • x = 21,000 + 0.25x
  • x - 0.25x = 21,000
  • 0.75x = 21,000
  • x = 21,000 / 0.75
  • x = 28,000

Hence, the break-even quantity is 28,000 pens.

2. Price pens must be sold to obtain a monthly profit of $18,000

Profit = Revenue - Total cost

  • P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

  • P(x) = x.p - [ 0.25x + 21,000]

Where p is the price.

  • P(x) = x.p - 0.25x - 21,000

Substitute the quantity demanded, x, with 31,000, and the profit, P(x) with 18,000:

  • 18,000 = 31,000p - 0.25(31,000) - 21,000

Solve for p and compute:

  • 31,000p = 18,000 + 7,750 + 21,000

  • 31,000 p = 46,750

  • p = 1.51

That is $1.51 per pen.

Polk Company manufactures basketballs. Materials are added at the beginning of the production process and conversion costs are i
wariber [46]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.

1. Calculation of the equivalent units

<u>Particulars         Physical units   %     Material   %      Conversion cost</u>

Units transferred

out                          900             100%    900     100%     900

Ending

work in process     600            100%     600     40%       240

Equivalent

units                                                        1,500                  1,140

2. Cost per equivalent unit is

Particulars         Material      Conversion cost

Beginning

inventory           $750               $600

Cost during

period                $2,400            $2,820

Total cost          $3,150             $3,420

Divided by

Equivalent

units                   $1,500            $1,140

Cost per

equivalent unit    $2.1              $3

3. Transferred out cost is

= (3 + 2.1) × 900

= $4,590

And, the ending work in process cost is

= (600 ×$2.1) + (240 × $3)

= $1,960

2. Now the preparation of the production report is presented below:

Beginning work in process       $1,350

Cost during period                    $5,220

Total cost accounted for           $6,570

Transferred out cost                   $4,590

Ending work in process              $1,960

Total cost accounted as             $6,570
