Answer:

The amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31 was  $ 38.34 million

Explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

Beginning PBO= $29.4 million

Service cost= $9.4 million

The actuary's discount rate was 10%, hence Interest cost (10% x $29.4 million)= $2.94 million

Also, there is a Loss (gain) on PBO=$0 , and pension benefits paid by the trustee were $3.4 million.

Therefore, to calculate the amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31 we would have to use the following formula:

Ending PBO=Beginning PBO+Service cost+Interest cost-pension benefits

                   =$29.4 million+$9.4 million+$2.94-$3.4 million

                   =$38.34 million

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C. the starvation of up to 35 million people.

Explanation:

Collectivization was first introduced in the USSR by Joseph Stalin between 1929-1933 and his purpose for starting this process was to limit the powers of the Kulaks, who were the rich peasants. The program was also aimed at improving agriculture. China adopted this same policy under the rule of Mao Zedong between 1949-1976. Also known as <em>The Great Leap Forward </em>era, this process sought to make China a socialist economy and also increase productivity in agriculture.

The resultant effect of this process was mass starvation of about 35 million people in 1959. Although the government referred to floods and droughts as the cause of this starvation, it was actually the result of collectivization. When Diang Xiaping came into power in 1978, he instituted reforms in the collectivization process that proved successful.
