Answer: $250,096

Explanation:

To find out the amount that should be invested today, one should find the present values of both figures and add them up:

Interest rate should be periodically adjusted so: 8% / 2 = 4% per semi annum

No of periods should be adjusted as well.

Amount to be invested today:

= \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{2 * 2 periods} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4 * 2 periods} }\\\\=  \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} }\\\\= 250,095.62

= $250,096

Answer:

D. Geographic

Explanation:

Geographic segmentation approach in marketing involves the division of target market according to geographical areas such as urban, rural and suburban areas, or cities, countries, and regions. This arises when people dwelling in different locations or geographical areas tend to have preference for different products or needs. Needs and preferences can vary from location to location, hence, using the geographical segmentation approach would help a business to effectively market its products, and focus on effectively meeting needs of specific market target, and thereby eliminate inefficient spending.

ira [324]

Answer:

1-3 Attached inventory record schedule based on FIFO, LIFO and WEIGHTED AVERAGE method

4. COST OF GOODS SOLD

FIFO $6,070

LIFO $6,165

WA $6,080

5. GROSS PROFIT

FIFO $5,235

LIFO $5,140

WA $5,225

6. FIFO method maximizes gross profit

Explanation:

Schedule for Inventory record is attached based on FIFO, LIFO and Weighted Average method.

FIFO - (First in, First out) this inventory method sells older inventory before the company sells the newly acquired.

LIFO - (Last in, First out) this inventory method sells the latest acquired inventory rather than the older one.

Weighted Average- This inventory method uses inventory cost by dividing total amount of inventory over total units sold.

4. COST OF GOODS SOLD

FIFO

August 3 45 x $35 = $1,575

August 21 5 x $35 = $175

80 x $54 = 4,320

TOTAL $6,070

LIFO

August 3 45 x $35 = $1,575

August 21 85 x $54 = $4,590

TOTAL $6,165

Weighted Average

August 3 45 x $35 = $1,575

August 21 85 x $53 = 4,505

TOTAL $6,080

5. Gross Profit

Total sales is $11,305 (45 x $85 = $3,825 + 85 x $88 = 7,480)

FIFO

Total sales - Cost Of Goods Sold = Gross profit

$11,305 - $6,070 = $5,235

LIFO

Total sales - Cost Of Goods Sold = Gross profit

$11,305 - $6,165 = $5,140

Weighted Average

Total sales - Cost Of Goods Sold = Gross profit

$11,305 - $6,080 = $5,225

6. FIFO maximizes gross profit profit among the 3 methods. It yields the highest profit for the month of August in the amount of $5,235

choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense under straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($42,000 - $1,990) ÷ (5 years)

= ($40,010) ÷ (5 years)  

= $8,002

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

The journal entries are shown below:

For 2019

Depreciation expense A/c Dr $8,002

     To Accumulated Depreciation A/c $8,002

(Being depreciation expense is recorded)

For 2020

You've just joined the investment banking firm of dewey, cheatum, and howe. they've offered you two different salary arrangement
saw5 [17]
<span>If you take the question very literally, you have just joined the organisation and been offered two options. The present value of each is still $0 as you have not yet selected either or received any payment. However, assuming the question is aimed at establishing which option is better over the two year period, the following explanation applies. Salary arrangement 1 is 7,400 monthly for 24 months Assuming the whole salary is invested each month, and the annual interest rate is 6%, and that it is paid at the start of each month then the following formula will apply: Present value = previous value + (previous value * interest rate) + monthly payment Using this formula for a 24 month period results in present value of $188,196.47 Salary arrangement 2 is 33,000 initially and 6,100 monthly for 24 months Using the same assumptions as above, and the same formula for 24 month period results in present value of $191,692.01 The main difference is the initial payment which is accruing interest throughout the period and therefore salary arrangement 2 results in a higher present value.</span>
