Luda [366]

Answer:

$23,000

Explanation:

Before recording the journal entry, first we have to determine the pension expense amount which is shown below:

Pension expense = service cost + interest cost - expected return on plan assets

= $18,000 + $5,000 - $10,000

= $13,000

Now the journal entry would be

Pension expense A/c Dr $13,000

Plan asset A/c Dr $10,000

Knowledge Check 01 Zeta Corporation issues $100,000 of 8% bonds maturing in 10 years on January 1, Year 1, when the market rate

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$106,595

Explanation:

Given:

Initial market rate = 9%

Dropped market interest rate, r = 7% per year

= 7% × [6 ÷ 12]

= 3.5% = 0.035

Remaining time, n = 9 years = 18 semi annual periods

Now,

Value of the bond at the retirement

= [ PVAF × Interest payment] + [ PVF × face value]

here,

Present value of annuity factor, PVAF = $\frac{1 -(1+r) ^{-n}}{r}$

PVAF = $\frac{1 -(1+0.035) ^{-18}}{0.035}$

PVAF = 13.189

And,

Interest payment = $100,000 × 8% × [6 ÷ 12 ] [since, 8% bonds]

= $4000

Present value factor = $\frac{1}{1.035^{18}}$

= 0.538

par value = $100,000

= [13.189 × $40] + [0.538 × 100,000]

= 52,758.7316 + 53,836.114

= $106,595

Hence,

The correct answer is option $106,595

d.the company has a net loss of $9,575 for the period.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total debits of the balance sheet (assets) = $28,480

Total credits of the balance sheet (liabilities + equity) = $38,055

Difference (net loss) = $9,575 ($38,055 - $28,480)

b) With the determination of the net loss of $9,575, the two sides (debits and credits) of the balance sheet will equal. This is because the net loss of $9,575 will reduce the credits from $38,055 to $28,480.
