Answer:

Pension Expense = EBE = $593440 for income statement

Explanation:

The opening balance of the Plan asset is made by the 40000 from 2018 plus interest of 32000 and the new 400000 made this year. Why include it? Because an opening balance are the funds in an account at the beginning of the year either from last year or are from current year but should be the first entry in the books of the current year.

                                                                 DBO                plan asset       EBE

opening balance                                   (600000)            832000             -

interest                                                   ( 60000)              66560            6560

current year's service cost                    (600000)                               (600000)

                                                            (  1260000 )            898560      <u> 593440</u>

 balance sheet liability = 361440

O'Brien Ltd.'s outstanding bonds have a $1,000 par value, and they mature in 25 years. Their nominal yield to maturity is 9.25%,
kozerog [31]

Answer:

8.99%

Explanation:

For this question we use the PMT function that is presented on the excel spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $975

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 9.25%  ÷ 2 = 4.625%

NPER = 25 years × 2 = 50 years

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate,NPER,-PV,FV,type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the PMT is $44.96

Now the annual PMT is

= $44.96 × 2

= $89.92

So, the coupon interest rate is

= $89.92 ÷ $1,000

= 8.99%

A certain bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

                           Hard       Soft        Plastic

San Francisco 3,600           7,800       12,000  

Los Angeles  2,400            1,800        3,000

Explanation:

The sales during January were as follows:

                          Hard      Soft          Plastic

San Francisco 600              1,300           2,000  

Los Angeles  400                300              500

If the sales during the next five months were actually the same, then to determine total sales all we have to do is multiply January's sales by 6.

600 x 6 = 3,600         1,300 x 6 = 7,800         2,000 x 6 = 12,000

400 x 6 = 2,400           300 x 6 = 1,800            500 x 6 = 3,000

Answer:

it can return to an earlier stage through creative marketing.

Explanation:

A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;

1. Introduction.

2. Growth.

3. Maturity.

4. Decline.

A product that is at the decline stage is generally referred to as a failed product and wouldn't generate profit or much revenue for the manufacturer because it has little economic importance.

However, once a good or service nears the end of its product life cycle i.e it's at the decline stage, the business firm recognizes that it can return to an earlier stage where it offers satisfaction to the consumers and generate revenue, through creative marketing.

Marketing can be defined as the process of developing promotional techniques and sales strategies by a firm, so as to enhance the availability of goods and services to meet the needs of the end users or consumers through advertising and market research. Thus, it comprises of all the activities such as, identifying, anticipating set of medium and processes for creating, promoting, delivering, and exchanging goods and services that has value for customers. It typically, involves understanding customer needs, building and maintaining healthy relationships with them in order to scale up your business.
