Answer:

As you are starting at 45 years until 65 years, meaning you got only 20 years. So, the best investment options I recommend are,

  • Certificate of Deposit
  • Bonds
  • Mutual Funds

Explanation:

First of all, in terms of investing, 20 year time span is NOT that beneficial or wise! Because as you know, to gain the true effect of compounding, it is always better to start early and go on for about 30 or 40 years, even 50! Google about "Warren Buffet"!

However, in this case, the 3 options mentioned above are much better. But I'm not saying others are bad.

Certificate of deposits, Bonds and Mutual funds are relatively less riskier and does not fluctuate much with the market.

Moreover, the interest  yields are preferably higher.

Given that the interest rate remains relatively at a higher lever, these 3 options will pay of a decent contribution through compounding over the course of 20 years.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

$29,500

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning inventory = $12,000

Ending inventory = $6,000

Purchases = $25,000

Purchase return = $1,500

Kuyu’s cost of goods sold during the period:

= Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory

= Beginning inventory + (Purchases - Purchase return) - Ending inventory

= $12,000 + ($25,000 - $1,500) - $6,000

= $12,000 + 23,500 - $6,000

= $29,500

Shellhammer Company's inventory records show the following data for the month of September: Units Unit Cost Inventory, September
Pie

Answer:

Shellhammer Company

Ending inventory = $712

Cost of goods sold = $2,492

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date                     Item          Units           Unit Cost     Total Cost

September 1    Inventory           100           $3.34          $334.00

September 8   Purchases        450             3.50          1,575.00

September 18 Purchases        350              3.70          1,295.00

September 30 Total                900                            $3,204.00

Ending inventory                     200

Cost of goods sold                 700

Weighted Average cost = Total cost of goods available for sale/Total units available for sale

= $3,204/900 = $3.56

Value of Ending Inventory = $3.56 * 200 = $712

Value of Cost of goods sold = $3.56 * 700 = $2,492

b) The weighted average inventory costing, under the period inventory system, used by Shellhammer is an assumption that the costs attributable to ending inventory and cost of goods sold are determined from the average cost per unit and that these the average cost is ascertained at the end of the period.  Therefore, the cost of beginning inventory and purchases are accumulated and divided by the units of goods available for sale.
