Answer:

b. increase in the APBO because of the passage of time.

Explanation:

NPPBC is an acronym for Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost.

The general rule is the prior service cost should be recognized in NPPBC: by assigning an equal amount of the retroactive benefits to each remain year of service from the plan amendment date to the full eligibility date of each active participant.

Hence, the interest cost component of NPPBC is the increase in the Accumulated Post-retirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) because of the passage of time

A company is considering replacing its air conditioner. Management has narrowed the choices to alternatives that offer comparabl

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The benefit cost ratio of alternative 2 is 1.34

Explanation:

Initial cost $7000 $9000

Annual savings $1500 $1900

Salvage value $500 -$1250

Life 15 years 15 years

First, we calculate the present worth of Alternative 1 and 2, taking salvage value as a decrease in cost

For alternative 1

B1 = Benefits = ($1500)(P/A, 8%, 15) = ($1500)(8.5595) = $12,839

C1 = Cost = $7,000 – ($500)(P/F, 8%,15) = $7,000 – ($500)(0.3152) = $6842

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost = $12,839/$6842 = 1.88

For alternative 2

B2 = Benefits = ($1900)(P/A, 8%,15) = ($1900)(8.5595) = $16,263

C2 = Cost = $9000 + ($1250)(P/F,8%,15) = $9000 + ($1250)(0.3152) = $9394

Ratio of Benefit to Cost = Benefit/Cost = $16,263/$9394 = 1.73

Both alternatives can't be compared directly unless we perform incremental analysis on both.

Incremental Analysis =. (B2 – B1)/(C2 –C1) = ($16,263- $12,839)/ ($9394 - $6842) = 1.34

Incremental Analysis is greater than 1, so alternative 2 is better than alternative 1

E. Outplacement counselor.

Explanation:

Outplacement counseling is provided to ex-employees to transition them from Gear Tech Corp. to other jobs outside this particular company because they have been laid off from their jobs. It is a kind of an employee benefit, which some companies provide because they are interested in ensuring that their ex-employees do not remain unemployed for long. A company like Gear Tech Corp. believes strongly that if ex-employees are not useful in the company, they can be more useful in other companies. For this purpose, the company can organize counseling programs for their relieved staff to set them on a smooth transition to outside roles that may be more appropriate for them.
