Response:

The yearly average return stands at 9.6 %

Clarification:

Calculating the average return

Assuming the price per share is 100

                                                       Initial    Growth             Final

                                                         Value            %                   Value

Company A  50 % at 100                5,000              8 %                 5,400

Company B 30 % at 100                 3,000              12 %                3,360    

Company C 20 % at 100                  2,000             10 %                2,200

Total amounts                             10,000                                     10,960

To find the average return, take the increase in value over the base, divided by the base

10,960 -  10,000  =  960/ 10000  = 9.6 % average return

Answer:

$78,000

Explanation:

For calculating the cost of the ending work in process

To begin, we will calculate the material cost per unit.

Material cost per unit = $220,000 / (40,000+15,000)

Material cost per unit= $220,000 / 55,000

Material cost per unit= $4

Next is to find the conversion cost per unit

Conversion cost per unit= $414,000 / (40,000 + (15,000*40%)

Conversion cost per unit= $414000 / 46000

Conversion cost per unit= $9

Now, it’s time to calculate the total cost per equivalent unit

Total cost per equivalent unit= $4 + $9

Total cost per equivalent unit= $13

Then, the equivalent unit of the ending work in process

Equivalent unit of the ending work in process= 15,000 × 40%

Equivalent unit of the ending work in process= 6,000

Finally, we calculate the cost of the ending work in process

Cost of the ending work in process = 6,000 × $13

Cost of the ending work in process = $78,000

Thus, the cost of the ending work in process is $78,000

Tamarisk should report an inventory amount of $252,000 as of December 31. To arrive at this figure, consider the following calculation: Inventory = Stock on hand + goods acquired from Sheffield Corp + goods sold to Wildhorse Co. This gives us the calculation: $190,000 + $29,000 + $33,000 = $252,000. All relevant amounts were taken into account, including considerations for FOB destination and FOB shipping point, which contribute to the physical inventory count.

Answer:

The monetary value of the ending inventory amounts to $7,500,000

Explanation:

To determine the dollar value of the ending inventory, the following formula should be applied:

Ending inventory = (Beginning inventory + production - sales). $

Here are the values for this case:

- Beginning inventory: 10,000 units

- Production for January: 20,000 units

- Sales during January: 15,000 units

Ending inventory = 10,000 + 20,000 - 15,000

Ending inventory = 15,000 units

Dollar value = 15000 units × $500 = $7,500,000
