Answer:
$102,080
Explanation:
Given that,
Service cost = $90,500
Interest rate = 9 %
Expected return on plan assets = $62,800
Prior service cost amortization = $10,300
Projected benefit obligation at January 1, 2017 = $712,900
Pension expense for the year 2017:
= Service cost + Interest cost - Expected return on plan assets + Prior service cost amortization
= $90,500 + ($712,900 × 9%) - $62,800 +  $10,300
= $90,500 + $64,080 - $62,800 +  $10,300
= $102,080

Cost of land = 990,000 + 49,600 +2300 + 6, 900 + 75,300=  1,124,100.00 
Cost of land= $1,124,100

Answer:
<u>expansionary; will be equal to</u>
Explanation:
<em>Remember</em>, monetary policies are basically divided into:
- expansionary monetary policy, and
- contractionary monetary policy.
Indeed, as the name implies, the expansionary monetary policy is meant to in a sense boost up economic growth in terms of reducing interest rates thereby theoretically increasing spending and also leading to an increase in the money supply. When there is an increase in the money supply, this thus leads to an increased inflation rate, which would be expected if workers and firms have rational expectations.
