What was the opening price of Dow Jones Industrial Average on May 30, 2017 in the format of XXXXX.XX?

The present value of the offer is $739,018.03 The cash flows mentioned, spanning from the end of year 1 to the end of year 20, form a growing annuity for 20 years. The present value formula for a growing annuity is as follows: PV= where P represents the annuity payment in the first year, i is the interest rate per period, g is the growth rate, and n denotes the number of payment periods. The first year’s P is the base salary of $59,000 along with a 10% bonus of $5,900, totaling $64,900; g is 3.9%; i=0.1, and n=20. The present value of the offer equals 15,000 received immediately plus the present value of the growing annuity = 739,018.03.

Answer:

The calculations are presented below:

Explanation:

1.                       FIFO    LIFO Average cost  

Cost of goods sold      

Beginning inventory       $11,200      $11,200  $11,200

(400 units ×  $28)                          

Purchases                       $16,625    $16,625   $16,625

(475 units × 35)                  

Total goods available $27,825    $27,825   $27,825  

Ending inventory             $18,025    $15,575    $16,695

(525 units)  

Cost of goods sold          $9,800    $12,250    $11,130  

Calculated using ending inventory = 475 × $35 + 50 × $28    

FIFO = $18,025  

For LIFO ending inventory: 400 × $28 + 125 × $35

Results in $15,575  

Average cost is found by: $27,825 ÷ $875    

Which equals 31.8      

Ending inventory is calculated as 525 × 31.8

This leads to $16,695

2.                           FIFO            LIFO         Average

Sales

(307 × $50)                $15,350         $15,350    $15,350

Cost of goods sold     $9,800    $12,250    $11,130

Gross Profit                 $5,550           $3,100      $4,220

Expenses                     $1,680           $1,680      $1,680

Net income                  $3,870           $1,420       $2,540

3. FIFO ranks as 3

LIFO ranks as 2

Average ranks as 1

Answer:

1. Create a statement for retained earnings.

Net income = $943,400

Retained earnings as of May 31, 2018 = $3,792,500

2. Construct a balance sheet, assuming a current portion of the note payable is $50,000.

Total Net Assets = Stockholder’s equity = $4,292,500

Divisions deemed the most precarious within the company will tend to receive diminished funding. In layman's terms, the weighted average represents the cost of capital, indicating the return investors expect while reflecting the average risk of the firm. Managers often adjust this return depending on the risk levels associated with potential projects. Therefore, applying an average return across all projects would result in high-risk projects lacking sufficient funding, whereas low-risk projects would attract more resources.
