<span>FIFO (First in, First Out) reports higher gross profit and net income than the LIFO (Last In, First Out) method when prices are increasing. The FIFO method refers to an inventory system wherein the first items purchased are thought to be sold while the most recent purchases make up the ending inventory. On the other hand, the LIFO method assumes the opposite. The ones sold are the most recent purchases while the earlier purchases are included in the ending inventory. </span>
Answer:
a. In order to determine the present value of lease we can use the same APR as the car loan (7%). We can use the present value of an annuity formula:
PV = monthly payment x annuity factor
- monthly payment = $509
- PV annuity factor, 0.58333%, 48 periods = 41.76344
PV of the annuity = $509 x 41.76344 = $21,257.59
total present value of lease contract = $21,257.59 + $109 = $21,366.59
b. the present value of purchasing the car is $40,000 - $28,000/1.07⁴ = $40,000 - $21,361.07 = $18,638.93
c. the break even resale price = (sales price - PV of lease) x (1 + 7%/12)⁴⁸ = ($40,000 - $21,366.59) x (1 + 0.07/12)⁴⁸ = $18,633.41 x 1.32205 = $24,634.37
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,456.96
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The number of years= 5 years
Final value= $15,000
Interest rate= 10%
We need to calculate the annual deposit to reach the objective. We will use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (15,000*0.1) / [(1.10^5)-1]
A= $2,456.96
B Having courage to make decisions
Answer:
66%
Explanation:
- Students & retirees are not considered as part of Labor force
- people are under 16 age , are not part of working age population
- underemployed people are doing part time jobs, so counted as employed
Total employed = Employed full time + Underemployed
= 96 + 31
= 127 million
Unemployed workers = 8 million
Labor force size = employed + unemployed people
= 127 million + 8 million
= 135 million
Working age population:
= Total non-institutionalized population - People under age of 16
= 243 - 38
= 205 million
Therefore,
Labor force participation rate:
= (Labor force size ÷ Total non institutionalized population) × 100
= (135 ÷ 205) × 100
= 66%
