Only variable costs can be differential costs. Do you agree? Explain.

Nostrana [21]1 year ago

I do not agree with the given statement that is "Only variable costs can be differential costs.".

The difference in the costs of two alternative decisions is referred to as differential cost.

When a company is faced with several similar options, it must make a decision by selecting one and discarding the other.

Variable costs in cost accounting are costs that vary according to how much a company produces.

Variable costs are typically proportional to output.

As a result, the cost difference between two alternatives, rather than the fixed and variable nature of costs, is relevant for decision-making.

Hence, I disagree with the statement given in the question.

preferred dividends=R5000

increase in retained earnings=R100000-R80000

increase in retained earnings=R20,000

profits to non-controlling interest=R15000

profit-after-tax=R30000+R5000+R20,000+R15000

profit-after-tax=R70,000

profit after-tax=profit before tax*(1-tax rate)

tax rate=305

operating profit=unknown'

interest=R200000*6%

On January 1, 2018, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $48 million. During 2018 pension benefits paid by th
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$59.8 million.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year, the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) was $48 million, however, during the year this amount was affected by several factors that are explained in the problem statement: the service cost ($13 million), the interest costs (defined by a discount rate of 10%) and the pension benefits paid by the company ($6 million).

To understand how it was modified exactly, first, we will do a theoretical analysis and then present it more <em>graphically</em> as a financial statement.

1. Theoretical analysis

Firstly, a Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is a measure that reflects how much a company needs at the present time (December 31, 2018) to cover future pension liabilities. We know that the year began with a PBO of $48 million. However, this amount must be added to the service costs ($13 million), which is the increase in the present value of the liabilities, because the employees have completed another year in the company and that implies an increase in their pension credit.  

Therefore, so far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 million. To this amount must be added the interest cost which is the annual interest amount on the unpaid balance of the PBO. In this case, an interest rate of 10% is handled. Therefore the amount of interest is equal to $48 million (original PBO) * 10% = 4.8 million.

So far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 + $4.8 = $65.8 million

Finally, the pension benefits paid by the trustee during 2018 should be subtracted, since they are a partial payment of the PBO.

Therefore, we have: $65.8 - $6 = $59.8

2. As a financial statement.

                                                 Pension obligations

                                   Year Ended At December 31, 2018

Change in benefit obligations

Beginning PBO                                          $48

Service cost                                               $13    

Interest cost                                               $4.8

Benefits paid                                             ($6.0)

Ending PBO                                               $59.8
