Answer:

The present value of the pension fudn is 32,817,587,624.32 dollars

the state must first pay this amount before start a new pension plan

Explanation:

Employees 240,000

The average employee is 22 years away fro mretirement.

and the average retirement benefit is 400,000

discount rate: 5%

<u>Total fund obligation:</u>

240,000 employees x 400,000 dollars each = 96.000.000.000

Then, we discount at 5% for 22 years:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  96,000,000,000.00

time   22 year

rate    5% = 0.05

\frac{96000000000}{(1 + 0.05)^{22} } = PV  

PV   32,817,587,624.32

The Minton Company has gathered the following information for a unit of its most popular product: Direct materials $ 7 Direct la
Blababa [14]

Answer: $14,500

Explanation:

Sales = 2,900 units × $19 per unit

         = $55,100

Direct material = 2,900 units × $7

                         = $20,300

Direct labor = 2,900 units × $3

                         = $8,700

Variable Overhead = 2,900 units × 50% × 6

                                = $8,700

Variable shipping and other selling expense = 2,900 units × $1 per unit

                                                                           = $2,900

Net profit from special order:

= Sales - Direct material - Direct labor - Variable Overhead - Variable shipping and other selling expense

= $55,100 - $20,300 - $8,700 - $8,700 - $2,900

= $14,500

Therefore, if the special order is accepted, Minton's operating profits will increase by $14,500.
