Answer:

(1) $322

Explanation:

(1) Pension Expense:

= Service Cost + Interest Cost - Expected rate of return + Amortization of prior service cost - Amortization of prior net gain

= $410 +  (2800 × 7%) - (290 actual + 29 loss) + $45 - $10

= $410 + $196 - $319 + $45 - $10

= $322

(2) The journal entries are as follows:

(i) Pension expense A/c                    Dr. $322

Plan assets A/c                                  Dr. $319

Amortization of net gain – OCI A/c  Dr. $10

To Amortization of prior service-cost – OCI         $45

To PBO                                                                     $606

(To record pension expense)

(ii) Loss – OCI  A/c     Dr.   $29

To plan assets                            $29

(To record loss on assets)

Working:

Loss on assets = {2900(11%-10%)}

                         =  2900 × 1%

                         = $29

(iii) Plan assets A/c   Dr.    $345

To cash                                         $345

(To record funding)

(iv) PBO A/c     Dr. $370

To plan assets                $370

(To record Retiree benefits)

notsponge [240]

Answer:

B) $2,86

Explanation:

Using the high-low method we will use the highest activity level and the lowest activity level to determine the variable and fixed portion of the costs.

Highest activity - Cost $ 14182  Hours - 4200

Lowest activity - Cost $ (8748)   Hours - (2300)

Difference        -            $ 5434                 1900

Now we determine the variable portion. 5434/1900 = 2,86

Thus the answer is B.

Loggers are much likely to supply wood to the market if property rights are enforced. In the presence of market failures, public
alekssr [168]

Answer:

much <em>more </em>likely;

There is only one car dealership in a small town, giving the dealership the ability to influence the price of cars. - <em>Market power</em>

A person smoking in a restaurant emits second-hand smoke that harms other restaurant patrons. - <em>Externality</em>

Explanation:

<u>Property rights</u> are an incentive for individuals to create goods that are needed on the market. In other words, when a discrepancy between demand and supply occurs on a specific market, entities, businesses or individuals that create the goods are motivated to meet market needs through enforced property rights.

On the other hand, when there is a lack of property rights that regulate the market, <em>market failures</em> occur. Two common types of market failures include <em>market power</em> and <em>externalities</em>.

The car dealership example shows <u>market power</u> in practice, as the reigning company can dictate car prices.

The second example shows an externality, as there is evident influence (cost or benefit) on the third party, which they cannot change. People are affected (negatively) by smoke they did not create.

In the long run equilibrium, a monopolistic competitor will produce to the point at which A) actual average total costs are at t
Artemon [7]

Monopolistic competition is the economic market model with many sellers selling similar, but not identical, products. The demand curve of monopolistic competition is elastic because although the firms are selling differentiated products, many are still close substitutes, so if one firm raises its price too high, many of its customers will switch to products made by other firms. This elasticity of demand makes it similar to pure competition where elasticity is perfect. Demand is not perfectly elastic because a monopolistic competitor has fewer rivals then would be the case for perfect competition, and because the products are differentiated to some degree, so they are not perfect substitutes.

Monopolistic competition has a downward sloping demand curve. Thus, just as for a pure monopoly, its marginal revenue will always be less than the market price, because it can only increase demand by lowering prices, but by doing so, it must lower the prices of all units of its product. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profits or minimize losses by producing that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, both over the short run and the long run.
