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
Less: Actual return on plan asset = ($11000)
Less: Unexpected loss = 200,000 × 10% - 11,000 = ($9000)
Ammortization of prior service cost = $15000
Pension expense = $85,000
b. The journal entry to record the pension expense and the company’s funding of the pension plan in 2017 has been attached.
c. The amount of the 2017 increase/decrease in gains or losses and the amount to be amortized in 2017 and 2018 has been attached.
d. The pension amounts reported in the financial statement as of December 31, 2017 will be $85,000.
The plans that must be involved are the strategic planning, the mid level, the low level, the operational planning, the top level planning.
Explanation:
In the strategic planning the company's stakeholders will ask them were they want their company to be in five years
The middle level staff will decide to focus in recruiting the new clients and to increase the productivity and they will find the way to give back to the company
Being a low level employee it is necessary that one must interact with the customers and contribute to the company's performance
In the operational planning it will be difficult to manage the customers meet their day to day needs and satisfy them
A meeting will be held with the top level staff and hence they will be coming up with the new tools of the operational planning
Answer: $65
Explanation: Under the FIFO method, that is, first in first out method inventory is recorded on the assumption that the goods that were purchased first will also be sold first and the remaining inventory will have the latest purchased units.
So, in the given question the two units sold would be costing $80 and $95
Hence,
Gross profit = $240 - ($80 + $95)
= $65
Answer:
It implies there are diseconomies of scale.
Explanation:
It implies there are diseconomies of scale in the industry
Because as the quantity of units output increase, the cost also increase. While in economies of scale, the slope for the LRAC will be negative, as each increase in output lowers the cost.
When this occurs, there is a lower change of monopoly in the industry, as the larger firm also faces the larger cost, so the supply tend to be more diverse.
While a, indifined negative slope will generate monopolies as their cost become lower at gerater the output.
