Krumbly Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. At the beginning of the month, Department D's work in process inventory contained 2,000 units. These units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs, with a total cost at that point of $13,600. During the month, conversion costs amounted to $8 per equivalent unit. If all 2,000 units are fully complete by the end of the month and transferred out of the department, the total cost of the 2,000 units transferred out will be closest to:

Why do managers suggest that ignoring all cash flows following the assigned payback period is not a major flaw of the payback method of capital budgeting analysis? Payback is never used in real practice so it makes no difference how academics apply the method in their studies If the cash flows after the required payback period are significant, managers will use their discretion to override the payback rule. All cash flows after the first two years are highly inaccurate so including them lessens the reliability of the resulting decision. All cash flows after the assigned payback period are relatively worthless in today’s dollars so ignoring them has no consequence. The results of including the cash flows after the required payback period rarely have any effect on the accept/reject decision.v
