Northwest Building Products (NBP) manufactures two lumber products from a joint milling process: residential building lumber (RBL) and commercial building lumber (CBL). A standard production run incurs joint costs of $450,000 and results in 80,000 units of RBL and 120,000 units of CBL. Each RBL sells for $10 per unit and each CBL sells for $12 per unit

Required:
a. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-off point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to commercial lumber (CB) on a physical measure method basis?
b. If no further processing occurs after the split-off point, how much of the joint cost is allocated to the residential lumber (RBL) on a sales value basis?
c. Assume that the CB is not marketable at split-off but must be planed and sized at a cost of $300,000 per production run. During this process, 10,000 units are unavoidably lost and have no value. The remaining units of CB are salable at S14 per unit. The RBC, although salable immediately at the split off point, is coated with a tarlike preservative that costs $200,000 per production run. The RBC is then sold for $12 each. Using the net realizable value basis, how much of the completed cost should be assigned to each unit of CB?

d. Based on information in part 3 above, should NBP choose to process RBC beyond split-off ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Northwest Building Products (NBP)

The completed cost that should be assigned to each unit of CB is $5.18.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Joint cost = $450,000

Residential building lumber (RBL) produced = 80,000 units

Commercial building lumber (CBL) produced = 120,000 units

Total units produced = 200,000

RBL selling price per unit = $10; Total revenue = $800,000

CBL selling price per unit = $12; Total revenue = $1,440,000

Total revenue for RBL and CBL = $2,240,000

a. Joint costs allocation on physical measure method:

RBL = $450,000 * 80,000/200,000 = $180,000

CBL = $450,000 * 120,000/200,000 = $270,000

b. Joint costs allocation on sales value basis:

RBL = $450,000 * $800,000/$2,240,000 = $160,714

CBL = $450,000 * $1,440,000/$2,240,000 = $289,286

c. Net Realizable value after further processing:

RBL: Completed cost = $380,000 ($180,000 + $200,000)/

Total revenue =             $960,000 ($12 * 80,000)

Total cost of production  380,000

Net realizable value =   $580,000

CBL: Completed cost = $570,000 ($270,000 + $300,000)

Total revenue =                $1,540,000 (110,000 * $14)

Total cost of production =    570,000

Net realizable value =        $970,000

Cost per CBL = $5.18 ($570,000/110,000)

Because testing of nuclear bombs was halted internationally in 1992, the Department of Energy has developed a laser system that allows engineers to simulate (in a laboratory) conditions in a thermo-nuclear reaction. Due to soaring cost overruns, a congressional committee undertook an investigation and discovered that the estimated development cost of the project increased at an average rate of 2% per six-months over a 5-year period. If the original cost was estimated to be $3.1 billion 5 years ago, what is the expected cost today?

Answers

Answer:

The estimated development cost of the project will increase from the original cost of $3.1 billion 5 years ago to $3.7727 billion today.

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Original estimated development cost = $3.1 billion

Average rate  of interest = 2% per six months or 4% per year (2 * 2%)

Period of project = 5 years using 4% or 10 using 2%

Using a future value factor of 1.217 from a future value table at 4% per year for 5 years:

The expected cost today = $3.1 billion * 1.217 = $3.7727 billion

Assume the perpetual inventory method is used:

a. Green Company purchased merchandise inventory that cost $16,800 under terms of 2/10, n/30 and FOB shipping point.
b. Green Company paid freight cost of $680 to have the merchandise delivered.
c. Payment was made to the supplier on the inventory within 10 days.
d. All of the merchandise was sold to customers for $25,100 cash and delivered under terms FOB destination with freight cost amounting to $480.

The gross margin from these transactions of Green Company is:________

Answers

Answer:

Gross margin = $8156

Explanation:

Formula for gross margin is given by;

Gross margin = Revenue - Cost of goods sold

where,

Revenue = $25100

Cost of goods sold = (cost of Purchase × ( 1 - Discount rate)) + freight cost

Thus;

Cost of goods sold = $16800 - (16800 × 0.02)) + $480

Cost of goods sold = $16944

Thus;

Gross margin = $25100 - $16944

Gross margin = $8156

A congresswoman from a state with several semiconductor factories argues that the government should impose a tariff on semiconductors because they are a necessary input into the production of various weapons. Free trade, she contends, would make the United States overly dependent on foreign countries for the supply of semiconductors and thus, in case of war, unable to make enough weapons to defend itself. Which of the following justifications is the senator using to argue for the trade restriction on semiconductors?

a. Infant-industry argument
b. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
c. Jobs argument
d. Unfair-competition argument
e. National-security argument

Answers

Answer:

National-security argument

Explanation:

Governments may intervene in markets for any reason at all.

A tariff is simply known as a tax

that is imposed on imports. There are various reasons why trade is restricted for product or services. The different arguments for restricting trade includes:

1. jobs argument

2. national security argument

3. infant-industry argument

4. unfair-competition argument

5. protection-as-bargaining-chip argument

The national security argument state that industries or product important to national security should be protected from foreign competition and not allow to focus mainly on dependence on imports that could be scattered during wartime.

The National Security Response is said to be as good as long as we base policy on true security needs.

On January 1, 2021, Carla Vista Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Carla Vista to make annual payments of $195000 at the beginning of each year for 5 years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Carla Vista at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Carla Vista uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Carla Vista accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $813124 at an effective interest rate of 10%.

In 2022, Carla Vista should record interest expense of:________

a. $67994.
b. $48494.
c. $61812.
d. $42312.

Answers

Answer:

In 2022, Carla Vista should record interest expense of:________

 

c. $61,812.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The Present Value (PV) of a 5-year noncancelable lease of equipment = $813,124

Annual lease payments = $195,000

Effective interest rate = 10%

Estimated lease term = 5 years

Estimated useful life of equipment = 7 years

Salvage value of equipment = $0

Method of Depreciation = Straight-line method

Lease period percentage = 71% (5/7)

Interest expense:

December 31, 2021 = $81,312 ($813,124 * 10%)

December 31, 2022 - $61,812 ($813,124 - $195,000 * 10%)

On January 1, 2021, The Barrett Company purchased merchandise from a supplier. Payment was a noninterestbearing note requiring five annual payments of $20,000 on each December 31 beginning on December 31, 2021, and a lump-sum payment of $100,000 on December 31, 2025. A 10% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.Required:Calculate the amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021.

Answers

Answer:

Barrett Company

The amount at which Barrett should record the note payable and corresponding merchandise purchased on January 1, 2021 is:

= $125,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Non-interest-bearing note annual payment = $20,000

Date of annual payments = December 31

Lump sum payment on December 31, 2025 = $100,000

Interest rate reflecting the time value of money = 10%

The amount for the note payable and corresponding merchandise on January 1, 2021 is:

PV annuity factor for 4 years at 10% = 3.170

Total PV of annual payments = $63,400 ($20,000 * 3.170)

PV of lump-sum payment =         62,100 ($100,000 * 0.621)

Total PV of payments =           $125,500

TryFit Co. uses process costing to account for the production of energy food bars. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $13,000 in materials and $10,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $42,000 for materials and $46,000 for conversion costs. During April 14,000 units were completed. Ending work in process inventory was 10,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The value of ending inventory using the weighted average method would be closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to four decimal places.) Multiple Choice $30,487.40 $37,654.00 $79,520.80 $46,454.00

Answers

Answer:

$37,654.00

Explanation:

beginning WIP = $13,000 + $10,000 = $23,000

costs added during the month = $42,000 + $46,000 = $88,000

total materials costs = $55,000

materials cost per EUP = $55,000 / 24,000 units = $2.29

total conversion costs = $56,000

conversion cost per EUP = $56,000 / 19,000 = $2.95

ending inventory = (10,000 x $2.29) + (10,000 x $2.95 x 50%) = $37,650

Predetermined overhead rate = $360,000/900 = $400 per DLH

Beginning Inventory Balances:

Raw materials $49,000

Work in process $40,000

Finished Goods $79,000

Job 412

Direct materials = $9,900

Direct labor hours = 35

Direct labor cost = $10,800

Applied overhead = $14,000 ($400 * 35)

Total cost = $34,700

Units in Job 412 = 6

Unit cost = $5,783 ($34,700/6)

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon U.S. Treasury note with five years to maturity (YTM) has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity of the bond is 8.80%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:

Answers

Answer:

$775,751

Explanation:

the effective semiannual rate = 1.088 = (1 + r)²

r = 4.3072%

we must first determine the present value of the face value = $1,000,000 / (1 + 4.3072%)¹⁰ = $655,927.02

now the present value of the coupon payments = $15,000 x [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ ] / i = $15,000 x [1 - 1/(1 + 0.043072)¹⁰ ] / 0.043072 = $119,823.98

market price = $775,751

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

a. Variable overhead spending variance

= AH × ( AR - SR)

Where

AH = Actual Hours worked = 24,000

AR = Actual variable overhead rate = $50,000

SR = Standard variable overhead rate = $48,000

Therefore,

Variable overhead spending variance

= 24,000 × ($50,000 - $48,000)

= $48,000

Bonita Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,419,800 and retained earnings of $5,569,300 at December 31, 2020. Bonita later discovered that its ending inventories at December 31, 2019 and 2020, were overstated by $99,040 and $31,710, respectively. Determine the corrected amounts for 2020 cost of goods sold and December 31, 2020, retained earnings.

Answers

Answer:cost of goods sold in 2020 = $1,352,470

retained earnings in December 31, 2020 =$5,537,590

Explanation:

For cost of goods sold in 2020

Corrected cost of goods sold =  Reported cost of goods sold in 2020 - overstated value of ending inventory in year 2019 + overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020

=  $1,419,800 -$99,040+  $31,710,

= $1,352,470    

For retained earnings in December 31, 2020

Corrected retained earnings == Reported retained earning in 2020 -  overstated value of ending inventory in year 2020

= $5,569,300-$31,710

=$5,537,590

Explanation:

ASC 480-10 provides guidance on determining whether (1) certain financial instruments with both debt-like and equity-like characteristics should be accounted for outside of equity (i.e., as liabilities or, in some cases, assets) by the issuer and (2) SEC registrants should present certain redeemable equity instruments as temporary equity. Examples of contracts and transactions that may require evaluation under ASC 480-10 include:________

Answers

Answer:

. Redeemable shares.

• Redeemable noncontrolling interests.

• Forward contracts to repurchase own shares.

• Forward contracts to sell redeemable shares.

• Written put options on own stock.

• Warrants (and written call options) on redeemable equity shares.

• Warrants on shares with deemed liquidation provisions.

• Puttable warrants on own stock.

• Equity collars.

• Share-settled debt (this term is used to describe a share-settled obligation that  is not in the legal form of debt but has the same economic payoff profile as debt).

• Preferred shares that are mandatorily convertible into a variable number of common shares.

• Unsettled treasury stock transactions.

• Accelerated share repurchase programs.

• Hybrid equity units.

Explanation:

ASC 480-10 is used when an issuer, in the declaration of its financial position, has to categorize some financial instruments that share the characteristics of liabilities and equities. The issuer always classifies legal-form debt as liability and this makes it not applicable under the ASC 480-10.

Under the ASC 480-10, three types of financial instruments are meant to be classified and they include;

1. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments

2. Obligations to repurchase the entity’s equity shares by transferring assets, and

3.Certain obligations to issue a variable number of equity shares

7K ÷ 3L = w ÷ 50

K = (3 ÷ 350)wL

Now apply the production function

Q = K^0.3L^0.7

500 = ((3 ÷ 350)wL)^0.3 L^0.7

500 = (3 ÷ 350)^0.3 × w^0.3 × L

L = 2084.75 × w^-0.3.

A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 7 workers, who together produced an average of 70 carts per hour. Workers receive $15 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 4 carts per hour.a.

(Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" signs in your response.)Labor productivity by _____%Multifactor productivity by _____ %

Answers

Answer:

Before buying the new equipment:

Number of workers = 7

Production = 70 carts per hour

Worker wage = $15 per hour

Machine cost = $40 per hour

After buying the new equipment:

Number of workers = 6

Production = 74 carts per hour

Worker wage = $15 per hour

Machine cost = $50 per hour

(a) Labor productivity

Labor productivity = Number of carts produced per hour / Number of workers

Labor productivity (Before) = 70 / 7

Labor productivity (Before) = 10 carts per worker per hour

Labor productivity (After) = 74 / 6

Labor productivity (After) = 12.33 carts per worker per hour

(b) Multifactor productivity

Multifactor productivity = Carts produced / (Labor cost + Equipment cost)

Multifactor productivity = Carts produced / [(Number of workers x Worker wage) + Equipment cost)

Multifactor productivity (Before) = 70 / [(7*$15) + $40]

Multifactor productivity (Before) = 0.48 carts/dollar cost

Multifactor productivity (After) = 74 / [(6*$15) + $50]

Multifactor productivity (After) = 0.53 carts/dollar cost

(c) Increase in productivity

Increase in productivity = [(New productivity - Old productivity) / Old productivity] * 100

Increase in labor productivity = [(12.33 - 10) / 10] * 100

Increase in labor productivity = 0.233 * 100

Increase in labor productivity = 23.30%

Increase in multifactor productivity = [(0.53 - 0.48) / 0.48] * 100

Increase in multifactor productivity = 0.104167 * 100

Increase in multifactor productivity = 10.42%

A bank has kept records of the checking balances of its customers and determined that the average daily balance of its customers is $300 with a standard deviation of $56. A random sample of 200 checking accounts is selected. You are interested in calculating the following probabilities below.1. Assuming that the population of the checking account balances is normally distributed, what is the probability that a randomly selected account has a balance of more than $305?2. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is above $295?3. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is below $290?4. What is the probability that the mean balance for the selected sample is between $302 and $304?

Answers

Answer:

1. P(X > 305) = $0.1038

2. P ( X > 295) = $0.8962

3. P ( X > 290) = $0.0057

4. P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Mean = u = $300

SD = Standard Deviation = $56

Sample Size = n = 200

uX = u = 300

SDX = [tex]\frac{SD}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{56}{\sqrt{200} }[/tex] = 3.96

1.

P(X > 305) = 1-P ([tex]\frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{305 - 300}{3.96}[/tex])

P(X > 305) = 1-P (Z < 1.26)

Using Standard Normal Table, we have:

P(X > 305) = 1 - 0.8962

Probability = $0.1038

2.

P ( X > 295) = 1 - P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{295 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P ( X > 295) = 1 - P (Z< 1.26)

Using standard normal table, we have:

P ( X > 295) = 1 - 0.1038

P ( X > 295) = $0.8962

3.

P ( X > 290) =  P ( [tex]\frac{X - uX }{SDX} < \frac{290 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P ( X > 290) = P ( z< -2.53)

Using Standard normal table, we have:

P ( X > 290) = $0.0057

4.

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( [tex]\frac{302 - 300}{3.96} < \frac{X - uX}{SDX} < \frac{304 - 300}{3.96}[/tex] )

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P ( 0.51 < z < 1.01)

P(302 < X < 304 ) = P (z < 1.01) - P (z < 0.51)

P(302 < X < 304 ) = 0.8438 - 0.6950

P(302 < X < 304 ) = $0.1488

Desert Company exchanged 3,000 shares of its stock, for equipment from Jungle Company. Desert's stock has a par value of $50 per share and at the time of the exchange was not actively traded on a market but 12 months ago was sold at a value of $49 per share. The quoted fair value of the equipment is $170,993. What is the amount Desert should record as the historical cost of the equipment?

Answers

Answer:

Desert Company

The amount that Desert should record as the historical cost of the equipment is:

= $170,993.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Value of stock exchanged = $150,000 (3,000 * $50)

Fair value of equipment = $170,993

Gain from exchange of Equipment for shares = $20,993

b) The quoted fair value of Jungle's equipment should be used to record the historical cost in the financial statement of Desert Company.   This value represents the only verifiable value.  This value should then be compared to the value of the Desert shares exchanged with Jungle to determine if there is a loss or a gain from the exchange.

Olivia wants to buy some vacant land for investment purposes. She currently cannot afford the full purchase price. Instead, Olivia pays the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land for $175,000 anytime in the next four years. Fourteen months after purchasing the option, Olivia sells the option for $10,000. What is the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss

Answers

Answer:

$2,000 gain

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss

Based on the information given we were told that she pays the landowner the amount of $8,000 in order for her to obtain an option to buy a land in which after purchasing the option she sells the option for the amount of $10,000 making her to gain the amount of $2,000.

Olivia's gain =$10,000-$8,000

Olivia's gain =$2,000

Therefore The amount and character of Olivia's gain will be $2,000

Answer: $2000

Explanation:

The amount and character of Olivia's gain or loss will be gotten by calculating the amount that Olivia paid the landowner $8,000 to obtain an option to buy the land and the amount she eventually sold the option. This will be:

= $10000 - $8000

= $2000

Therefore, she had a capital gain of $2000

Beyond grades, what else would make a student stand out to an admissions counselor?

Answers

Answer:

Extracurricular Activity

Colleges prefer students who are active in academics as well as off it. This shows diversity in the student and is a trait that the counselors would be looking for.

Extracurricular activities like after-school jobs, sports and even volunteering at NGOs weigh heavily in the assessment of a student's ability to fit in a college and if you had great grade whilst doing these activities, you will have a better chance at being admitted.

(3) Which company is getting the greatest return on assets? Show calculations.

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve for this question. However I have found similar question on the internet and I will be using that data. Besides, I have attached the data used in the attachment below.

Solution:

1. The debt-to-equity ratio is the best way to assess financial risk. A higher debt-to-equity ratio indicates a higher level of financial risk. This ratio represents the willingness of the equity of the owners to fulfil their obligations.

Formula used:

Debt-to-equity ratio  =  Total liabilities divided by owner's equity

For Clobes:

Total liabilities = 100,000

Owners' equity =  200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 100000/200000 = 0.5

For Snyder:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/200000 = 1.5  

For Welz:

Total liabilities = 300,000

Owners' equity = 100,000

Debt-to-equity ratio = 300000/100000 = 3

Welz faces the greatest financial risk because it has the highest debt-to-equity ratio. It has a debt-to-equity ratio of three. Even though it depends on the industry, a company's debt-to-equity ratio should be between 1 and 1.5 if it is considered optimal. In this case, Welz's financial risk is considerably higher.

2. calculate Return on Equity(ROE)

Formula used:

ROE = Net income / Owner's equity

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 25,000 / 200000 = 0.125

For Snyder:

Net income = 30,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 30000 / 200000 = 0.15

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Owners' equity = 200,000

ROE = 20000 / 100000 = 0.2

Welz has the highest return of equity (ROE) of 0.2.

As a result, Welz is the most profitable company.

3. Return on assets:

Formula used

Return on Assets = Net income / Total assets

For Clobes:  

Net income = 25,000

Total assets = 300,000

Return on Assets  = 25,000  / 300000 = 0.08

For Snyder:  

Net income = 30,000

Total assets = 500000

Return on Assets  = 30000 / 500000 = 0.06

For Welz:  

Net income = 20,000

Total assets = 400,000

Return on Assets  = 20000 / 400000 = 0.05

Hence,

Clobes has the highest return on assets, which is 0.08.

Answers

Answer:

Net operating cash flow   $68,300

Explanation:

Operating cash flow is the amount of cash generated by a company from its main and normal business activity. This cash flow is useful to gauge the financial viability of a firm's business activity; the larger the better.

It is essentially computed as the net movement of cash inflow and outflow in respect of a business activities.

It is computed as follows:                          

                                                                  $

Net income                                              49,000

Add deprecation                                      17,200

Less increase in receivable                    (11.200)

add increase in payables                         13,300

Net operating cash flow                           68,300

Note that only items that relate to trading which is the core business area of the Pearl Corporation are considered. Depreciation is  added because it is a non-cash item initially deducted from net income.

An increase in receivable means a reduction in cash while an increase in payables implies cash savings

Net operating cash flow   $68,300

Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 7,900 for July and 8,100 for August. The direct materials requirement per unit is 2 ounces (oz.). The company requires to have safety stock of direct materials on hand at the end of each month to complete 20% of the units of budgeted production in the following month. There was 3,160 ounces of direct material in inventory at the start of July. The total ounces of direct materials to be purchased in July is:

a. 15,720 oz.
b. 15,880 oz.
c. 16,200 oz.
d. 15,800 oz.
e. 19,040 oz.

Answers

Answer:

Purchases= 15,880 ounces

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

July= 7,900

August= 8,100

The direct materials required per unit are 2 ounces (oz.).

Desired ending inventory= 20% of the units of budgeted production in the following month.

Beginning inventory= 3,160 ounces

To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 7,900*2 + (8,100*2)*0.2 - 3,160

Purchases= 15,880 ounces

It produces food more efficiently than Japan.
It produces food at a higher cost than Japan.
It must export most of its food to Japan.

Answers

Answer:

It produces food more efficiently than Japan.

Explanation:

Given that an ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE is when a country or company can produce the same quantity of goods more efficiently than another country or company with lesser input or produce more quantities of goods with more efficiently with the same input.

Hence, in this case, when it is said that the United States has an absolute advantage in producing food compared with Japan, it means that "It produces food more efficiently than Japan."

The correct answer would be B: It produces food more efficiently than Japan

Marigold Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $155,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $28,000 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB shipping point, and $21,800 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $30,400, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end. What amount should Marigold report as its December 31 inventory

Answers

Answer: $‭204,800‬

Explanation:

When a good is shipped FOB shipping point, it means that the buyer assumes responsibility for the goods as soon as the goods reach the place they will be shipped from. The purchase from Pelzer should therefore be included in inventory because it has already been shipped.

A good shipped FOB Destination means that the buyer only assumes responsibility after the goods have been delivered to them. As the sale to Alvarez was still in transit, it is still the responsibility of Marigold and should be included in inventory.

Inventory is therefore:

= 155,000 + 28,000 + 21,800

= $‭204,800‬
