Answer:
The correct answer is "58,044".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Service cost,
= $43,200
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation,
= 321,800
Actual and expected return,
= 10,900
Discount rate,
= 8%
The interest cost will be:
= [tex]321,800\times 8 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]25,744[/tex]
The Postretirement benefit expense will be:
= [tex]Service \ cost +Interest \ cost-Actual \ and \ expected \ return[/tex]
= [tex]43,200+25,744-10,900[/tex]

Koczela Inc. has provided the following data for the month of May: Inventories: Beginning Ending Work in process $ 28,000 $ 23,000 Finished goods $ 57,000 $ 61,000 Additional information: Direct materials $ 68,000 Direct labor cost $ 98,000 Manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 74,000 Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process $ 72,000 Any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. The cost of goods manufactured for May is:
Answer:
COGS= $241,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured with allocated overhead:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 28,000 + 68,000 + 98,000 + 72,000 - 23,000
cost of goods manufactured= $243,000
Now, we determine the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 57,000 + 243,000 - 61,000
COGS= $239,000
Finally, we close the under/over applied overhead to COGS:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 74,000 - 72,000
Underapplied overhead= $2,000
We need to debit COGS and credit overhead:
COGS 2,000
Manufacturing overhead 2,000
COGS= 239,000 + 2,000
COGS= $241,000

A company has bonds on the market with 13 years to maturity, a YTM of 7.6 percent, and a current price of $1,000. The bonds make semiannual payments and have a face value of $1,000. What is the dollar value of each coupon
Answer:
$38.00
Explanation:
The dollar value of each coupon of each coupon is also known as the PMT of the Bond and this is made twice in a year for this question.
The Bond elements can now be established as :
N = 13 x 2 = 26
YTM = 7.6 %
PV = ($1,000)
FV = $1,000
P/YR = 2
PMT = ?
Using a Financial calculator the PMT is $38.00
Thus, the dollar value of each coupon is $38.00

A company that makes modular bevel gear drives with a tight swing ratio for optimizing fork-lift vehicles was told that the interest rate on a loan would be an effective 3.5% per quarter, compounded monthly. The owner, confused by the terminology, asked you to help. What is the APY
Answer:
The APY is 14.9%
Explanation:
To find the annual percentage yield we need to compute the effective annual rate of interest.
The Effective annual rate of return(EAR) is the equivalent rate to be paid where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
Compounding implies the regular interval when interest is always computed; in this scenario, it is monthly.
The EAR can be worked out as follows
EAR = ( (1+r)^m - 1 ) × 100
r- interest rate per period
m- number of periods in a year
EAR - Effective annual rate
r = 3.5%/3 = 1.167 % per month
m= number of months in a year = 12
EAR =( 1.01167^12-1)× 100 = 14.9%
The APY is 14.9%
This implies the quoted interest rate of 3.5% per quarter is the same as paying 14.9% per year
Chris Ellis newsstand, just outside the Smithsonian subway station in Washington, DC, usually sells 120 copies of the Washington Post each day. Chris believes the sale of the Post is normally distributed, with a standard deviation of 15 papers. He pays 60 cents for each paper, which sells for $1.25. The Post gives him a 30-cent credit for each unsold paper. According to this given information optimal stocking out probability is:_______
Answer:
31.58%
Explanation:
We have the following information
Daily number = 120
Standard deviation = 15
Amount paid = 60 cents = 0.60dollars
What he gets for the unsold = 0.30 dollars
Undercoverage = Cu = 1.25-0.60 = 0.65
Over coverage = Co = 0.60 - 0.30 = 0.30
In stock probability = Cu/Cu + Co
= 0.65/0.65+0.30
= 0.65/0.95
= 0.6842
The optimal stocking out probability = 1- 0.6842
= 0.3158
= 31.58%
The Eggers Corporation filed an amended Form 1120, claiming an additional $400,000 deduction for payments to a contractor for a prior tax year. The amended return was based on the entity's interpretation of a Regulation that defined deductible advance payment expenditures. The nature of Eggers's activity with the contractor did not exactly fit the language of the Regulation. Nevertheless, because so much tax was at stake, Eggers's tax department decided to claim the deduction. Eggers’s tax department estimated that there was only a 15% chance that Eggers’s interpretation would stand up to a Tax Court review.
a. What is the amount of tax penalty that Eggers is risking by taking this position?
b. What would be the result if there was a 45% chance that Eggers’s interpretation of the Regulation was correct?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. What is the amount of tax penalty that Eggers is risking by taking this position?
The amount of tax penalty that Eggers is risking by taking this position will be:
= $400,000 × 20%
= $400,000 × 20/100
= $400,000 × 0.2
= $80,000
The 20% used is the penalty charged when a claim is more than the final amount that's being allowed by the court or the IRS.
b.What would be the result if there was a 45% chance that Eggers’ interpretation of the Regulation was correct?
The result in this case if there was a 45% chance that Eggers’ interpretation of the Regulation was correct will be that Eggers will have zero tax penalty given. This is because since a reasonable cause was shown by the corporation, the penalty will be waived.

A monopoly would seek to maximize its profit at a point where marginal revenue will equal marginal cost because at this point, resources are being fully and efficiently utilized. If more cost was incurred to produce then marginal cost would exceed marginal revenue and lead to losses.
The same goes for the firm producing at a quantity where marginal revenue is larger than marginal cost. They should expand their production levels so that their marginal cost equals marginal revenue as this will increase profitability.

At the beginning of 2019, the Healthy Life Food Company purchased equipment for $42 million to be used in the manufacture of a new line of gourmet frozen foods. The equipment was estimated to have a 10-year service life and no residual value. The straight-line depreciation method was used to measure depreciation for 2019 and 2020. Late in 2021, it became apparent that sales of the new frozen food line were significantly below expectations. The company decided to continue production for two more years (2022 and 2023) and then discontinue the line. At that time, the equipment will be sold for minimal scrap values. The controller, Heather Meyer, was asked by Harvey Dent, the company's chief executive officer (CEO), to determine the appropriate treatment of the change in service life of the equipment. Heather determined that there has been an impairment of value requiring an immediate write-down of the equipment of $12,900,000. The remaining book value would then be depreciated over the equipment's revised service life. The CEO does not like Heather's conclusion because of the effect it would have on 2016 income. "Looks like a simple revision in service life from 10 years to 5 years to me," Dent concluded. "Let's go with it that way, Heather."
Required:
What is the difference in before-tax income between the CEO's and Heather's treatment of the situation? Discuss Heather Meyer's ethical dilemma.
If different types of parol evidence contradict each other, this is the hierarchy of what prevails:
a. Course of performance, course of dealing, usage of trade Usage of trade.
b. Course of dealing, course of performance.
c. Course of dealing, usage of trade, course of performance
d. Course of performance, usage of trading, course of dealing
Answer:
a. Course of performance, course of dealing, usage of trade.

Suppose that Spain and Switzerland both produce beer and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 brarrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that ____ has a comparative advantage int he production of wine and ___ has a comparative advantage in the production of beer.
Suppose that Spain and Switzerland consider trading wine and beer with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives mroe that ___ of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ___ of wine for each barrel of beer it exports to Spain.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the folloiwing terms of trade ( that is, price of wine in terms of beer) would allow both Switzerland and Spain to gain from trade?
a. 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
b. 3 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
c. 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
d. 18 barrels of beer per bottle of wine
Answer:
Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine. While, Switzerland has a comparative advantage in Beer.
Explanation:
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 barrels of beer.
Spain has a lower opportunity cost of producing wine. Thus, we can say that Spain has a comparative advantage in producing wine.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/4 barrels of wine while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine.
Switzerland has a lower opportunity cost of producing beer. Thus, we can say that Switzerland has a comparative advantage in producing beer.
Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 barrels of beer. Thus, it can import more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it produces and export to Switzerland. Thus, Spain can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 4 barrels of beer for each bottle of wine it exports to Switzerland.
Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of beer is 1/10 barrels of wine. Thus, it can import more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it produces and export to Spain. Thus, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/10 barrels of wine for each bottle of beer it exports to Spain.
The price of wine in terms of beer must be between 4 and 10. So it can be
either 6 barrels of beer per bottle of wine or 9 barrels of beer per bottle of wine.

On December 1, 2021, Keenan Company, a U.S. firm, sold merchandise to Velez Company of Canada for 150,000 Canadian dollars (CAD). Collection of the receivable is due on February 1, 2022. Keenan purchased a foreign currency put option with a strike price of $0.97 (U.S.) on December 1, 2021. This foreign currency option is designated as a cash flow hedge. Relevant exchange rates follow:
Date Spot Rate Option Premium
1-Dec-18 $0.97 $0.05
31-Dec-18 $0.95 $0.04
1-Feb-19 $0.94 $0.03
Required:
Compute the fair value of the foreign currency option at February 1.
Answer:
Keenan Company (U.S.) and Velez Company (Canada)
The fair value of the foreign currency option at February 1 = $4,500.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of merchandise sold to Velez Company = CAD 150,000
Collection date of the receivable = February 1, 2022
Strike price of foreign currency put option purchased by Keenan = US$0.97
Relevant exchange rates follow:
Date Spot Rate Option Premium
1-Dec-21 $0.97 $0.05
31-Dec-21 $0.95 $0.04
1-Feb-22 $0.94 $0.03
The fair value of the option is based on the the change that has occurred in the Spot Rates from December 1, 2021 to February = $0.03 ($0.97 - $0.94)
Therefore, the fair value = 150,000 * $0.03 = $4,500
Suppose the economy of the large country of Hendrix is currently experiencing economic growth and has a trade deficit. Consider the possible effects of this economic growth on the trade balance and place them in the appropriate category. 1. Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit 2. Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit 3. Not likely to occur during economic growth imports increase a. imports decrease b. government borrowing increases c. private savings decrease d. private savings increase e. government borrowing decreases
Answer:
1. Likely to occur during economic growth and increase the trade deficit - imports increase
Economic growth increases the living standard of people because it raises the average income. People often use this income to buy goods from abroad in case demand is not met by domestic firms.
2. Likely to occur during economic growth and decrease the trade deficit - d. private savings increase
Private savings increase during economic growth because people enjoy a higher disposable income. A share of this private savings are invested abroad, where foreigners use this capital to import goods from the original country, decreasing the trade deficit.
3. Not likely to occur during economic growth - c. private savings decrease
Private savings usually increase during times of economic growth for the reasons explained above.
Suppose the price is $6 per sheet of plywood. Suppose the price falls to $4 per sheet of plywood.How much of the increase in consumer surplus was additional consumer surplus for the people who would have bought plywood at $6 anyway.
Answer:
"$2,500" is the appropriate answer.
Explanation:
The question given seems to be incomplete. Below there is a attachment of full question is provided.
The given values are:
Plywood's price,
= $6 per sheet
Price falls,
= $4
Now,
At price $6, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times (10-6)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1000\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]2,000[/tex] ($)
When price falls, the consumer surplus will be:
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times (10-4)[/tex]
= [tex]0.5\times 1500\times 6[/tex]
= [tex]4,500[/tex] ($)
Hence,
The increase in consumer surplus will be:
