Quantity = 3000 X 120% = 3,600

SP = 50 x 110% = 55

Quantity x SP = 198,000

Less: Returned Sales = (6%x198,000)

Sales Projection = $186,120

Beginning Inventory $21 X 400 = 8400

Production $24 X 800 = 19200

Cost of Goods Sold 700 units

FIFO (21 X 400) + (24 X 300) = $15,600

Beginning Inventory $10 X 725 = 8400

Production $14 X 650 = 19200

Cost of Goods Sold 700 units

LIFO (14 X 650) + (10 X 350) = $12,600

a) PV = 8000/(1+ 0.06)10 = $4,467.16

b) PV = 16000/(1+ 0.12)5 = $9,078.83

c) PV = 25000/(1+ 0.08)15 = $7,881.04

6.

a. FV = 12000 X (1+ 0.07)6 = $18,008.76

b. FV = 12000 X (1+ 0.12)15 = $65,682.79

c. FV = 12000 X (1+ 0.10)25 = $130,016.47
