Answer:

$344,000

Explanation:

The computation of value of investment is shown below:-

Initial Cost of investments         $260,000

(20,000 shares × $13)

Add: Share of profit                     $22,750

($65,000 × 35%)

Add: Increase in equity

reserves                                     $70,000

(($23 - $13) × 20,000 × 35%)

Less: Dividends received            $8,750

($25,000 × 35%)

Value of investment                    $344,000

Therefore the value of investment is $344,000

The Weigelt Corporation has three branch plants with excess production capacity. Fortunately, the corporation has a new product ready to begin production, and all three plants have this capability, so some of the excess capacity can be used in this way. This product can be made in 3 sizes (large, medium, and small) that yield a net unit profit of $420, $360, and $300, respectively. Plants 1, 2, and 3 have the excess capacity to produce 750, 900, and 450 units per day of this product, regardless of the size or combination of sizes involved.
The amount of available in-process storage space also imposes a limitation on the production rates of the new product. Plants 1, 2, and 3 have 13,000, 12,000, and 5,000 square feet of inprocess storage available for a day’s production of this product. Each unit of the large, medium, and small sizes produced per day requires 20, 15, and 12 square feet, respectively.
Sales forecasts indicate that if available, 900, 1200, and 750 units of the large, medium, and small sizes would be sold per day.
At each plant, some employees will need to be laid off unless most of the plant’s excess production capacity can be used to produce the new product. To avoid layoffs if possible, management has decided that the plants should use the same percentage of their excess capacity to produce the new product.
Management wishes to know how much of each size should be produced by each plant to maximize profit.

Steve Reese is a well-known interior designer in Fort Worth, Texas. He wants to start his own business and convinces Rob O’Donnell, a local merchant, to contribute the capital to form a partnership. On January 1, 2016, O’Donnell invests a building worth $130,000 and equipment valued at $140,000 as well as $60,000 in cash. Although Reese makes no tangible contribution to the partnership, he will operate the business and be an equal partner in the beginning capital balances.

To entice O'Donnell to join this partnership, Reese draws up the following profit and loss agreement:

- O'Donnell will be credited annually with interest equal to 10 percent of the beginning capital balance for the year
- O'Donnell will also have added to his capital account 15 percent of partnership income each year (without regard for the preceding interest figure) or $7,000, whichever is larger. All remaining income is credited to Reese.
- Neither partner is allowed to withdraw funds from the partnership during 2013. Thereafter, each can draw $5,000 annually or 20 percent of the beginning capital balance for the year, whichever is larger.
The partnership reported a net loss of $8,000 during the first year of its operation. On January 1, 2014, Terri Dunn becomes a third partner in this business by contributing $10,000 cash to the partnership. Dunn receives a 20 percent share of the business's capital. The profit and loss agreement is altered as follows:
- O'Donnell is still entitled to (1) interest on his beginning capital balance as well as (2) the share of partnership income just specified.
- Any remaining profit or loss will be split on a 5:5 basis between Reese and Dunn, respectively.

Partnership income for 2014 is reported as $64,000. Each partner withdraws the full amount that is allowed. On January 1, 2015, Dunn becomes ill and sells her interest in the partnership (with the consent of the other two partners) to Judy Postner. Postner pays $75,000 directly to Dunn. Net income for 2015 is $64,000 with the partners again taking their full drawing allowance On January 1, 2016, Postner withdraws from the business for personal reasons. The articles of partnership state that any partner may leave the partnership at any time and is entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the recorded capital balance at that time plus 10 percent
