The projected benefit obligation was $280 million at the beginning of the year and $300 million at the end of the year. Service cost for the year was $18 million. At the end of the year, there were no pension-related other comprehensive income accounts. The actuary’s discount rate was 5%. What was the amount of the retiree benefits paid by the trustee?
Answer:
$12 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of the retiree benefits paid by the trustee
Beg PBO $280 million
Less En PBO ($300 million)
Add Service cost $18 million
Add Interest cost $14 million
(280million*5%)
Retiree benefits Paid by trustee $12 million
Therefore the amount of the retiree benefits paid by the trustee is $12 million
Johnson is a volunteer fireman for Prince George's County. One evening, he responds to an alarm at a residence. Outside the house, Bob grabs Johnson by the shoulders and says: My little daughter is in the house. Please save her! I'll pay you $20,000.00 if you get her out alive! Johnson bravely rushes into the burning house and rescues the little girl. The next day, Johnson finds Bob and asks for his check. Bob refuses to pay. Under these facts
a. Johnson will lose based on the theory of preexisting duty.
b. Johnson will lose based on the theory of past consideration
c. Johnson will be awarded the money based on the theory of ordinary contract law
d. Johnson will be awarded the money based on the theory of necessity
Answer: a. Johnson will lose based on the theory of preexisting duty.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, Johnson will lose based on the theory of preexisting duty.
According to the theory of preexisting duty, when an individual is under the pre-existing duty to perform ans.auch person is under a contract, there will not be any consideration when there's a modification of the contract and then the modification is void.
In this case, it is the duty of Johnson to save lives as a firefighter. Therefore, saving the daughter of Bob simply means that he's performing his duty and if Bob refuses to pay him, Johnson will lose based on the theory of preexisting duty.
S. S. Sarkar (S.S.S.), a real estate investment company, is considering investing in a shopping center. The sale price is $5,000,000 and S.S.S. expects to have positive after-tax and after-mortgage payment cash flows from rents of $400,000 for the next three years. S.S.S. can obtain a mortgage with a downpayment of $3,000,000. At the end of the third year, S.S.S. anticipates selling the shopping center for a net after-tax gain on sale of $4,500,000. If S.S.S.'s required return is 30%, should S.S.S. go ahead and purchase the shopping center?
Answer:
S. S. Sarkar (S.S.S)
S.S.S. should not purchase the shopping center.
It will generate a negative NPV.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of a shopping center = $5,000,000
Expected annual positive after-tax and after-mortgage payment cash flows form rents = $400,000
Down Payment = $3,000,000
Net after-tax gain on sale after three years = $4,500,000
S.S.S.'s required return = 30%
Annuity value factor for 3 years at 30% = 1.816
Present value factor for 3 years at 30% = 0.455
NPV: Cash Flows PV
Down payment $3,000,000 ($3,000,000)
Annual rent $400,000 $726,400 ($400,000 * 1.816)
After-tax gain $4,500,000 2,041,500 ($4,500,000 * 0.455)
NPV = ($226,100)
The Duerr Company manufactures a single product. All raw materials used are traceable to specific units of product. Current information for the Duerr Company follows:
Beginning raw materials inventory $27,000
Ending raw materials inventory 30,000
Raw material purchases 104,000
Beginning work in process inventory 39,000
Ending work in process inventory 49,000
Direct labor 129,000
Total factory overhead 104,000
Beginning finished goods inventory 79,000
Ending finished goods inventory 59,000
The company's cost of raw materials used, cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold is:________
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the direct material used:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 27,000 + 104,000 - 30,000
Direct material used= $101,000
Now, the cost of goods manufactured:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 39,000 + 101,000 + 129,000 + 104,000 - 49,000
cost of goods manufactured= $324,000
Finally, the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 79,000 + 324,000 - 59,000
COGS= $344,000

At year-end, Chief Company has a balance of $22,000 in accounts receivable of which $2,200 is more than 30 days overdue. Chief has a credit balance of $220 in the allowance for doubtful accounts before any year-end adjustments. Using the aging of accounts receivable method, Chief estimates that 1.0% of current accounts and 12% of accounts over thirty days are uncollectible. What is the amount of bad debt expense
Answer:
$242
Explanation:
If a company has a balance of $22,000 in accounts receivables of which $2,200 is more than 30days overdue, amount of receivables below 30days overdue
= $22,000 - $2,200
= $19,800
Allowance for doubtful debt
= (1.0% × $19,800 + 12% × $2,200)
= $198 + $264
= $462
Additional allowance required
= $462 - $220
= $242
This is the amount t of bad debts as the credit could be posted to allowance for
doubtful debt and the debit to bad debt account

Explanation:
In 1993, Sheffield Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,340,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $69,600 at the end of that time.
Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $585,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $23,400.
In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.
Compute the annual depreciation to be charged, beginning with 2022. (Round answer to 0 decimal places)
Annual depreciation expense—building ___________
Answer:
Annual depreciation expense is $23,547
Explanation:
In the year 2022 the cost of the building will be written down value.
Using straight line depreciation method : (Cost - Salvage value ) / Useful life
Depreciation in 1994 = ( 2,340,000 - 69,600 ) / 40 years = 56,760
There is addition construction in year 2004 the carrying value of the building will be :
2,340,000 - ( 56,760 * 20 ) = 1,204,800
Depreciation in 2004 : ( 1,204,800 + 585,000 ) - 23,400 / 30 years = 58,880
Carrying value on 2022 :
1,789,800 - ( 58,880 * 18 years) = 729,960
Depreciation expense in 2022:
729,960 / 31years = $23,547

g Bellingham Company produced 3,400 units of product that required 1.5 standard direct labor hours per unit. The standard fixed overhead cost per unit is $2.95 per direct labor hour at 5,500 hours, which is 100% of normal capacity. Determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
the fixed factory overhead volume variance is $1,180 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed factory overhead volume variance is shown below
= (Actual activity - normal activity)× fixed overhead cost per unit
= (3,400 × 1.5 - 5,500) × $2.95
= (5,100 - 5,500) × 2.95
= 400 × 2.95
= $1,180 unfavorable
Hence, the fixed factory overhead volume variance is $1,180 unfavorable
Simply we applied the above formula so that the correct amount could come

the baldwin Company currently has the following balances on their balance sheetTotal Assets $225,232 Total Liabilities136,748 Retained Earnings $36,493 Suppose next year the Baldwin Company generates $44,200 , pays $12,000 in , assets increase by $55,000, and total liabilities remain unchanged. What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Common stock = Assets - Liabilities - Retained earnings
Assets next year = $225,232 + $55,000 = $280,232
Liabilities remain unchanged
Retained earnings = Opening retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
= $36,493 + $44,200 - $12,000
= $68,693
Common stock next year
= $280,232 - $136,748 - $68,693
= $74,791
You are given the following information concerning Parrothead Enterprises:
Debt: 9,300 6.5% coupon bonds outstanding, with 22 years to maturity and a quoted price of 104.75. These bonds have a par value of $1,000 and pay interest semi-annually.
Common stock: 240,000 shares of common stock selling for $64.80 per share. The stock has a beta of .93 and will pay a dividend of $3.00 next year. The dividend is expected to grow by 5.3 percent per year indefinitely.
Preferred stock: 8,300 shares of 4.65 percent preferred stock selling at $94.30 per share.
Market: 11.7% expected return, a risk-free rate of 3.75%, and a 23% tax rate.
Calculate the company's WACC.
Answer:
WACC is 8.19%
Explanation:
WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital is determined by multiplying capital source cost of both equity and debt by their relevant weight and then summing the results to identify the value using the formulae given below:
WACC = (E/V x Re) + [D/V x Rd x (1 - Tc)]
where:
E = Market Value of the firm's equity
D = Market Value of the firm's debt
V = E + D
Re = Cost of Equity
Rd = Cost of Debt
Tc = Tax Rate
In the given question, we will first determine the cost of equity. As shown below:
Cost of Equity = Average of CAPM and Dividend Capitalisation Model
CAPM = Risk free rate of return + Beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
CAPM = 3.75 + 0.93 x (11.7 - 3.75)
CAPM = 11.14%
Dividend Capitalisation Model = Expected dividend net year / Current Price + Growth Rate
Dividend Capitalisation Model = 3 / 64.8 * 100 + 5.3
Dividend Capitalisation Model = 9.93%
Cost of Equity = 9.93 + 11.14 = 10.54%
Next is the cost of debt which would be calculated using YTM (Yield to maturity)
where:
Par Value = 1047.5
Face Value = 1000
Coupon rate = 6.5
Years to maturity = 22 years
Coupon Payment Frequency is semi annually.
The Cost of debt = 6.1%
After Tax it would be 4.7% [6.1% * (1 - 23%)]
Next, we will determine the rate of preferred stock before calculating the WACC.
Rate of preferred stock = Annual dividend / Current Price * 100
Rate of preferred stock = 4.65 / 94.3 * 100
Rate of preferred stock = 4.93%
Finally, we will calculate the Market Value (MV) of equity, debt and preferred stock. As shown below:
MV Equity = 240,000 x 64.8 = 15,552,000
MV Debt = 1047.5 x 9300 = 9,741,750
MV preferred stock = 8,300 x 94.3 = 782,690
Total = 26,076,440
WACC = (15,552,000 / 26,076,440 * 10.54%) + (9,741,750 / 26,076,440 * 4.7%) + (782,690 / 26,076,440 * 4.93%)
WACC = 6.28% + 1.76% + 0.15%
WACC = 8.19%

Pratt is ready to graduate and leave College Park. His future employer (Ferndale Corp.) offers the following four compensation packages from which Pratt may choose. Pratt will start working for Ferndale on January 1, year 1. Benefit Description Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Salary $ 60,000 $ 50,000 $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Health insurance No coverage $ 5,000 $ 5,000 $ 5,000 Restricted stock 0 0 1,000 shares 0 NQO's 0 0 0 100 options Assume that the restricted stock is 1,000 shares that trade at $5 per share on the grant date (January 1, year 1); shares are expected to be worth $10 per share on the vesting date at the end of year 1; and no 83(b) election is made. Assume that the NQOs (100 options) each allows the employee to purchase 10 shares at $5 exercise price. The stock trades at $5 per share on the grant date (January 1, year 1) and is expected to be worth $10 per share on the vesting date at the end of year 1, and the options are exercised and sold at the end of the year. Also assume that Pratt spends on average $3,000 on health-related costs that will be covered by insurance if he had coverage or is an after-tax expense if he isn't covered by insurance (treat this as a cash outflow). Assume that Pratt’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent. (Ignore FICA taxes and time value of money considerations). What is the after-tax value of each compensation package for year 1? If Pratt’s sole consideration is maximizing after-tax value for year 1, which scheme should he select?

A town wishes to build a new school that will cost $15,000,000. The school is to be built in 10 years. The town will provide funding for the new school by depositing a uniform amount into an investment fund paying 5% per year, compounded annually. How much must be set aside in each of the 10 years to provide for the new school?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $1,192,568.62
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Future Value= $15,000,000
Number of periods= 10 years
Interest rate= 5% compounded annually
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (15,000,000*0.05) / [(1.05^10) - 1]
A= $1,192,568.62

Yes, value exists. Their price is lower and therefore more competition and benefit are higher. Its value is reduced. Further competition among producers leads to higher production and lower prices. Further good product feedback will increase profitability after their use by consumers. Based on buyers' requirements, drugs can also be added. The drawback is that the output and performance depend more on the producer. Initially, the gain can be very low due to lower prices. Because they are typically replicas of premium products, a distinctive identity becomes difficult to have. Besides, customers get less trust and this problem is worse from the outset.
