Answer:
3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Explanation:
Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past, which are non recoverable and which have no current or future benefits.
Sunk costs are considered as irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current period and have no future implications. For example, research and development expenditure incurred in the past represents a sunk cost.
In the given case, the ticket for opera was already purchased for $100 which can now neither be recovered nor transferred. Thus this cost is irrelevant for decision making as expenditure has already been made. When Shen decided to go for a party instead of the concert, Shen has correctly ignored a sunk cost.
Answer:
Yield with 6-day maturity is 7.70%
Yield with 18-day maturity is 2.57%
Explanation:
The formula for yield on repurchase is given as:
y = ( PAR – P ) / P x (360 / t )
P=Purchase price
PAR=Repurchase price
t= number of days of the transaction
In first scenario,PAR is $39 million,P is $38.95 million and t=6
y=($39000000-38950000)/38950000*(360/6)
y=7.70%
In the second scenario,details remained the same except for t that is 18
y=($39000000-38950000)/38950000*(360/18)
y=2.57%
This implies the longer the maturity the lesser the yield since yield is computed on daily basis.
Answer: See attachment and explanation.
Explanation:
a. Determine the components of pension expense that the company would recognize in 2017.
Service cost = $52,000
Add: Interest on projected benefit obligation = $380,000 × 10% = $38,000
Less: Actual return on plan asset = ($11000)
Less: Unexpected loss = 200,000 × 10% - 11,000 = ($9000)
Ammortization of prior service cost = $15000
Pension expense = $85,000
b. The journal entry to record the pension expense and the company’s funding of the pension plan in 2017 has been attached.
c. The amount of the 2017 increase/decrease in gains or losses and the amount to be amortized in 2017 and 2018 has been attached.
d. The pension amounts reported in the financial statement as of December 31, 2017 will be $85,000.
