Answer:

$67.1 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Projected benefit obligation at the beginning of 2021 = $51 million

Service cost = $18 million

Retiree benefits  = $7 million

Projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2021:

= Beginning of 2021 + Service cost + Interest cost - Retiree benefits

= $51 million + $18 million + (10% × $51 million) - $7 million

= $51 million + $18 million + $5.1 million - $7 million

= $67.1 million

Federally chartered banks and credit unions are run like businesses that make a profit.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A bank is said to be federally chartered when it is appropriately authorized and regulated by the federal government of a country with recourse to statutory laws but not the state government. Some examples of federally chartered banks are Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of England, Swiss National Bank, Citizen National Bank, Bank of Japan, PNC Bank, First National Bank, U.S. Bank, Reserve Bank of Australia, etc.

A credit union can be defined as a non-profit making financial cooperative that is typically controlled by its members (employees, church groups, labour unions etc) and it is saddled with the responsibility of providing financial services like the traditional banks.

Generally, the profit made from the amount of money that is being deposited by the members of a credit union are usually returned to the members as a form of better interest rates. Some examples of credit unions are SchoolsFirst Credit Union, New York University Federal Credit Union, Consumers Credit Union, etc.

Hence, federally chartered banks and credit unions are not run like businesses that are a profit i.e they are a non-profit business.

Normative analysis take a somewhat neutral view by stating how the world should be. While
