Pension data for David Emerson Enterprises include the following:_______.
($ in millions)
Discount rate, 12%
Projected benefit obligation, January 1 $ 350
Projected benefit obligation, December 31 485
Accumulated benefit obligation, January 1 320
Accumulated benefit obligation, December 31 435
Cash contributions to pension fund, December 31 170
Benefit payments to retirees, December 31 58
Required:
Assuming no change in actuarial assumptions and estimates, determine the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31.
Service cost million
Answer:
$151 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31.
Projected benefit obligation, December 31 $485 million
Add Benefit payments to retirees, December 31 $58 million
Less Interest cost ($42 million)
(350*12%)
Less Projected benefit obligation, January 1 ($350 million)
Service cost $151 million
Therefore the service cost component of pension expense for the year ended December 31 will be $151 million
Suppose Dan’s cost of making pizzas is C(Q) = 4Q + (Q2/40), and his marginal cost is MC = 4 + (Q/20). Dan is a price taker. (a) What is Dan’s supply function? (b) What is Dan’s supply function if he has an avoidable fixed cost of $10? [HINT: Recall that Dan will not supply anything unless P > min AC(Q). So, as a first step, you need to find AC(Q) from C(Q). In part (a), finding min AC(Q) is easy and you should be able to do so just by looking at the formula for AC (Q). For part (b), you can find the minimum of AC by using the fact that AC(Q) = MC(Q) at the minimum point of AC.]
Answer:
(a) Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<4.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥4
(b) Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<5.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥5.
Explanation:
Note that the equations given in the question can be correctly stated as follows:
C(Q) = 4Q + (Q^2/40) .................. (1)
MC = 4 + (Q/20) ............................ (2)
Therefore, we can now proceed as follows:
(a) What is Dan’s supply function?
The upward portion of the MC curve is the supply function of Dan.
Equating equation (2) to P, we have:
P = 4+ (Q/20)
P- 4 = Q/20
Q = 20P -80
The shutdown rule is that P > AVCmin
AVC = C(Q) / Q .................. (3)
Substituting equation (1) into (3), we have:
AVC = ( 4Q + Q^2/40)/ Q
AVC = 4 + (Q/40) ............... (4)
Since MC cuts the AVC at its minimum, equations (2) and (4) are then equated to solve Q which is the output level at which AVC is minimum as follows:
4 + (Q/20) = 4 + (Q/40)
(Q/20) - (Q/40) = 4 - 4
(Q/20) - (Q/40) = 0
Q = 0
Substituting Q = 0 into equation (4), we have:
AVCmin = 4+ (0/40)
AVCmin = 4
This implies that Dan will produce at any price ≥ $4.
Therefore, Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<4.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥ 4.
(b) What is Dan’s supply function if he has an avoidable fixed cost of $10?
Since there is now a fixed cost, equation (1) becomes:
C(Q) = 4Q + (Q^2/40) + 10 ................. (5)
And the average cost (AC) will be as follows:
AC = (4Q + (Q2/40) + 10)/Q
AC = 4 + (Q/40) + (10/Q) .................... (6)
Since AC = MC when AC at its minimum, equations (2) and (6) are therefore equated to solve for Q as follows:
4 + (Q/40) + (10/Q) = 4 + (Q/20)
(Q/40) + (10/Q) = (Q/20)
Q = 20
Divide through by Q, we have:
(1/40) + (10/Q^2) = (1/20)
10/Q^2 = (1/20) - (1/40)
10/Q^2 = 0.05 - 0.025
10/Q^2 = 0.025
Q^2 = 10 / 0.025
Q^2 = 400
Q = [tex]\sqrt{400}[/tex]
Q = 20
Substituting Q = 20 into equation (6), we have:
AC = 4 + (20/40) + (10/20)
AC = $5
This implies that Dan will produce at any price ≥ $5.
Therefore, Dan’s supply function S(P) can be stated as follows:
S(P)= 0 If P<5.
And S(P) = 20P- 80 If P≥ 5
Ann lives in Princeton, New Jersey, and commutes by train each day to her job in New York City (20 round trips per month). When the price of a round trip goes up from $10 to $20, she responds by consuming exactly the same number of trips as before, while spending $200 per month less on restaurant meals. Does the fact that her quantity of train travel is completely unresponsive to the price increase imply that Ann is not a rational consumer

Explanation:
Hull Company reported the following income statement information for the current year: Sales $ 423,000 Cost of goods sold: Beginning inventory $ 151,500 Cost of goods purchased 286,000 Cost of goods available for sale 437,500 Ending inventory 157,000 Cost of goods sold 280,500 Gross profit $ 142,500 The beginning inventory balance is correct. However, the ending inventory figure was overstated by $33,000. Given this information, the correct gross profit would be:
Answer:
$109,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the correct gross profit would be:
Sales $ 423,000
Less: Corrected Cost of goods sold:($313,500)
(280,500 + $33,000)
Gross Profit $109,500
Therefore the correct gross profit would be:$109,500
On September 12, Vander Company sold merchandise in the amount of $3,950 to Jepson Company, with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. The cost of the items sold is $2,725. Vander uses the periodic inventory system and the gross method of accounting for sales. On September 14, Jepson returns some of the merchandise. The selling price of the merchandise is $340 and the cost of the merchandise returned is $240. Jepson pays the invoice on September 18, and takes the appropriate discount. The journal entry that Vander makes on September 18 is:
Answer:
Date Account Debit Credit
September 18 Cash $3,537.80
Sales discount $ 72.20
Accounts Receivable $3,610
Explanation:
Net merchandise sold = 3,950 - 340
= $3,610
Sales discount is 2% if paid in 10 days which Jepson did.
= 2% * 3,610
= $72.20
Cash = Net sales - discount
= 3,610 - 72.20
= $3,537.80

12/31/2021 $7,000 6,027 971 200,000
Total cash interest per year = $14,000 ($7,000 + $7,000)
Annual stated interest rate = 7% ($14,000/$200,000 x 100)
This annual interest rate can also be worked out as 7% ($7,000/$200,000 x 100 x 2), while the effective interest rate is 6% ($6,027/$200,000 x 100).
Thus, Lopez Plastics Co. issued the callable bonds at the annual stated interest rate of 7%.
