Economic profits can exist in the short run but not in the long run.

babymother [125]

Answer:

= $ 219,657.43

Explanation:

FV of annuity = P x [(1+r) n -1/r]

P = Periodic payment = $ 20,000

r = Periodic interest rate = 0.08

n = Number of periods = 20

FV = $ 60,000 x [(1+ 0.08)20 -1/0.08]

  = $ 60,000 x [(1.08)20 -1/0.08]

  = $ 60,000 x [(4.66095714384931 -1)/0.08]

  = $ 60,000 x (3.66095714384931/0.08)

= $ 60,000 x 45.7619642981163

= $ 2,745,717.85788698 or $ 2,745,717.86

FV of annuity due =(1+r) x P x [(1+r) n -1/r]

                              = (1+0.08) x $ 2,745,717.85788698

                              = 1.08 x $ 2,745,717.85788698

                             = $ 2,965,375.28651794 or $ 2,965,375.29

Difference in FV of ordinary annuity and annuity due

                             = $ 2,965,375.29 - $ 2,745,717.86

                             = $ 219,657.43

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

6.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 20 years

PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000

PMT = $0

FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years

= $75,000 × 8.6487

= $648,652.50

The following formula should be applied

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%

laiz [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Before recording the journal entries first we need to do the computations which are shown below:

The predetermined overhead rate is

= $420,000 ÷ 60,000 machine hours    

= $7 per machine hour  

Now

<u>Particulars                       Job 101   Job 102    Job 103   Total  </u>

Direct materials used     19,200      14,400      9,600     43,200  

Direct labor                     28,800    11,200        9,600     49,600  

overhead applied           7000        28000      14000     49000  

total                                  55,000     53,600     33,200   141,800  

                                        COGS   Finished WIP

Now the journal entries are as follows

1 Finished goods inventory  $53,600  

      To Work in process inventory   $53,600

(Being the transfer of job 102 is recorded)

2a) Cost of goods sold  $55,000  

             To Finished goods inventory $55,000

(being the cost of goods sold is recorded)  

2b) Cash $60,000  

             To sales revenue $60,000

(being the sales revenue is recorded)  

3) Manufacturing overhead $4,000  ($49,000 - $45,000)

                   To Cost of goods sold $4,000

(Being the balance of the manufacturing overhead is recorded)
