An example of a natural monopoly product would be "Gasoline" because there are several companies who use the one national network. Therefore, gas is a natural monopoly at the distribution stage, but at the retail stage, it is possible to have competition.

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.

What is the similar about negative growth rate and zero growth rate?
kifflom [539]
The similarity of negative growth rate and zero growth rate is that there is no growth towards a positive output. For example, if the business is currently in either state, it is not earning. It may be very stagnant (for zero growth rate) or losing (for negative growth rate). Which either the case may be, it is not beneficial to the business owner.

Your restaurant has assets of $64,342 and liabilities of $47,266. What is the equity of your business?
Alborosie

Answer:

Equity of the business= $17,076.

Explanation:

Equity as used in business is used to refer to the difference between the worth of a business (its assets) and what the business owes (debts and liabilities).

In other words, total equity refers to the value which is left in the company after the total liabilities must have been subtracted from the total assets.

The formula to calculate total equity is given below:

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Therefore to calculate the equity above, we have:

Equity = $64,342 - $47,266

Equity = $17,076.
