In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price

he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 6% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2018 (392 years later)?

Answer:

$199,576,970,307.56

Explanation:

Given:

Price paid for the island = $24

Annual interest rate, r = 6%

Duration, n = 392 years

Now,

Future value is given as:

Future value = Present value × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

Future value = $24 × ( 1 + 0.06 )³⁹²

or

Future value = $24 × 8315707096.148

or

Future value = $199,576,970,307.56

Answer:

The excess cash for April at the end is $33000. So option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The excess is the additional cash held at the year end in addition to the desired reserve. The ending cash balance can be calculated as,

Ending cash balance = Opening cash balance + Cash Receipts for the month - Cash payments for the month

Ending cash balance = 8000 + 75000 - 40000 = $43000

Out of the $43000 ending cash balance, the desired reserve is $10000. Thus,, the excess cash for April is,

Excess cash = 43000 - 10000 = $33000

just olya [345]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kushman Combines Inc. has $20,000 of ending finished goods inventory as of December 31, 2017. If beginning finished goods inventory was $10,000 and the cost of goods sold was $50,000.

We need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

50,000= 10,000 + cost of goods manufactured - 20,000

50,000 + 20,000 - 10,000= cost of goods manufactured

60,000= cost of goods manufactured
