Answer: Option D
Explanation: Internal rate of return ,denoted as IRR, is the rate at which the net present value of a capital investment is zero. It is the rate at which the cash flows of the investment are discounted back to calculate the present value.
While, required rate of return is that return which an investor expects to achieve over time from a capital project.
Thus, one would only select a capital project only if the NPV of a project is positive which can only happen when the return on investment, that is, IRR, is greater than cost of capital, that is, required rate of return.
$504000 is the actual return
<u>Explanation:</u>
particulars calculation Amount
Service cost 700000
Interest cost
480000
Less: Expected return
576000
Prior service cost 48000
Net loss 30000
Pension expense 682000
Therefore, the pension expense is $682000
<u>The computation is as follows for the calculation of return (in $000’s)
</u>
<u>Plan assets
</u>
Beginning = $5760
Actual return = ?
Cash contributions = 696
Less: Retireee benefits = (624)
Ending balance = $6336
Thus after solving this, we get the actual return that is equal to = $504,000
True.
The Principle of Utility says actions are <u>right </u>when they promote happiness or pleasure, and wrong when they cause unhappiness or pain. So in order to figure out if something is right or wrong you will first have to know if it promotes happiness.
Answer:
$0.26
Explanation:
diluted earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average outstanding shares + diluted shares)
net income = $330,000
preferred dividends = 2,000 x $500 x 8% = $80,000. Since the preferred stocks are convertible, they will be considered diluted shares. Therefore, no preferred dividends will be included in the calculation.
weighted average outstanding shares:
- January 1 = 700,000 x 12/12 = 700,000
- March 1 = 200,000 x 10/12 = 166,666.7
- total weighted average = 866,666.7
diluted shares = 2,000 preferred stocks x 200 = 400,000
diluted EPS = $330,000 / (866,666.7 + 400,000) = $0.260526247 ≈ $0.26
