Answer: The projected benefit obligation is $494 millions

Explanation:

Using the formula

Closing PBO = Opening PBO + S + I -B ± A

Where PBO = Projected Benefit Obiligation, S = service cost, I = interest cost, B = Pension benefit paid, A = Gain due to changes in actuarial assumptions

Interest cost = 5% of 460

= (5÷ 100) = 0.05 × 460

= 23

Closing PBO = 460 + 48 + 23 - 23 - 14

= $494

There is an increase in the Projected benefit obligation to $494 million

Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

                         Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $2,200,000 (<em>Requirement 1</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)         880,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $1,320,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                        0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

                          Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $3,800,000 (<em>Requirement 3</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)        1520,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $2,280,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

<em>From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000</em>

<em>From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000</em>

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%

Consider the economies of Sporon and Gribinez, both of which produce agricultural products using only land and labor. The follow
dusya [7]

Answer:

Sporon

2020 $15

2021   $14

2022  $12

2023  $10

Gribinez

2020 $9

2021  $10

2022  $11

2023  $12

Real GDP per capita rose from 2020 to 2023 as population increased.

Explanation:

Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living

Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.

Sporon

2020 : $15,000 / 1000 = $15

2021:  $28,000 / 2000 =    $14

2022 :  $36,000 /3,000 =  $12

2023: $40,000/4000 =  $10

Gribinez

2020  : $4500 / 500= $9

2021 : $10,000 / 1000 = $10

2022 $16,500 / 1500=  $11

2023: $24,000 / 2000 =  $12

The real GDP per capita of Gribinez rose from 2011 to 2014 as population increased because the rate of increase of real GDP per capita was higher than the rate of increase in population

Rate of increase of population in 2022 = (1500 / 1000) - 1 = 0.5 = 50%

Rate of increase in Real GDP in 2022 = (16500 / 10,000) - 1 = 0.65 = 65%
