Answer:

The pension expense for the year is 198,400

Explanation:

According to the reports received by the company we have the following relevant data to calculate the pension expense for the year:

Service cost of $ 193,000

Interest cost of $ 31,000

Considering that the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets is 10%, then $ 256,000×10%= 25,600

Pension expense for the year= Service cost of $ 193,000 +Interest cost of $ 31,000-25,600= 198,400.

For beginning real-estate investors what are some advantages of REITs rather than direct purchase of property?
amid [387]
REITs keep you liquid and may be more cost efficient. Entering in a REIT also costs lower, and an individual can invest in a fund for less than 1,000 USD. It's kind of like buying into a stock too, in a sense that you can sell your REIT shares at your leisure. 

On one hand, direct real estate investment gives you more power over your finances as there is no fund manager - you are the one in charge and you decide who can rent and live in your property. Some say that investment returns are also bigger should you go for direct real estate. However, it should be noted that you're putting in a bigger amount (roughly upwards 100,000 USD - which few people may be ready to shell out) just to get started on direct property investment versus about USD 1,000 into REIT. 

At the end of the day, it's up to the investor to decide what sort of risk you're comfortable with.

While showing a property to an unrepresented buyer, you owe the customer the duties of dealing honestly and fairly, accounting f
adelina 88 [10]

This is also known as the three duties towards the customer DAD Dealing with Honesty. Accounting for all funds and Disclosing the material facts to the buyer.

<h3>Who is a buyer?</h3>

A buyer is a customer who purchases the goods and or services of a company through which the company generates the revenue and earn profits. The buyer plays a key role in the development and running of a company.

The buyer should be allowed to have all the information about the product or service it is going to purchase, the buyer should be informed about the market rates and the demand of the goods as this is a material fact about the product.

Therefore it is a duty that a seller owes to the buyer to deal with honesty that is not charging high price if they are unaware of the price of the product.

David ungar holds a dunkin' donuts franchise. The terms of his franchise agreement require him to use only those ingredients fur
Andrej [43]

In a franchise, the franchisor allows the franchisee to  trade under its name and see its products for a fee  The franchisee pays an original fee to franchisor and a percentage of its profit for the privilege.So,since, Dunkin' Doughnuts is sharing its' brand name and image with David Ungar(his franchisee) it would definately want to improve it...at the least maintain it...David too is right on the other hand as there can be a possibility that he wants to use ingredients of a much higher quality than that provided.But dunkin' doughnuts can't still allow to do that as it has other franchisees to look after.Imagine that=>all the franchisees of dunkin' doughnuts use different ingredients with different quality..wouldn't this affects the image of the franchisor...also all the food items they sell will have a different taste depending on the ingredients.And if one of the franchisee buys cheap ingredients... thereby producing low quality out put ..the customers will not be satisfied...this will not only affect that franchisee but also the Brand image of the whole business worldwide.

To conclude,David may not be wrong with his idea but since dunkin' doughnuts is a big business with a good brand image...it has its' terms and requirements.

Which one of the following does not describe balance of​ trade? a. Balance of trade is the largest item in the current account.
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

c. Balance of trade is equal to the sum of current account balance and financial account balance.

Explanation:

The balance of trade is the difference in value between a country's imports and its exports over time. Balance of trade ( BOT) is expressed in monetary terms. If a country has more exports than imports, it has a positive trade balance or a trade surplus. Balance of trade is also known as international trade balance or trade balance.

Economists use the balance of trade in determining the country's current account. A trade deficit or trade surplus on its own does not mean that the economy is weak or strong in that period. The balance of trade is obtained by subtracting net imports from net exports.
