Answer:
a. rises but real GDP per person falls
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total monetary value of output that is produced by an economy in a given period.
GDP increases as the income increases. This is because people have more money to spend on goods and services.
So if people are retiring they will earn pension that will be spent. This increases productivity of the economy.
However since the number of people working is reducing there will be a reduction in real GDP per person. Only few people are producing and output will be allocated to a large population many of whom are not working.

Answer:
Joel is behaving in a totally unprofessional & unethical manner
Explanation:
As assistant controller, Joel Kimmel's job specification & responsibility includes financial statement preparation & combination, putting of internal controls in place, detailed analysis & reporting of cost variance, acts as the go-between with external auditors amongst other such responsibilities.
As such, when Joel discovered the cost discrepancy during the reconciliation, it was actually his responsibility to call the bank's attention to the variance. This is something that clearly falls under his job specification & can be considered as neglect of duty. Joel's decision defeats the very purpose of bank reconciliation, which is to correct any such discrepancy & to the ensure the rectification of transactions. Most importantly, the decision Joel plans to take is very unethical & is against standard accounting practices
We can therefore, say that Joel's decision is thoroughly unethical & unprofessional
Answer: See attachment and explanation.
Explanation:
a. Determine the components of pension expense that the company would recognize in 2017.
Service cost = $52,000
Add: Interest on projected benefit obligation = $380,000 × 10% = $38,000
