Pension plans are a type of retirement plan in which the employee and employer make contributions. These contributions are invested and to be received upon retirement. In most all cases pension plans are tax exempt. The two types of pension plans are defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. A defined benefit plan guarantees an amount upon retirement no matter how the investment performed. A defined contribution plan is not a guaranteed amount and heavily depends on the investment performance.

The concept of market efficiency underpins almost all financial theory and decision models. When financial markets are efficient

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Equal to

Explanation:

Financial theory assumes that financial markets are efficient and that there is no information failure in conducting financial transactions. However, this is an assumption and there could, in some instances, be asymmetric information in the form of adverse selection and moral hazards. For example, if managers of a corporation know how well or how poorly their business is doing than stockholders (as organizational performance determines the price of a security), then there would be an information failure or informational inefficency. Also, a potential investor who cannot distinguish between a firm whose security has a high potential for profit and low risks compared to that with a low potential for profit and high risk will be willing to pay a price that lies between the value of stock from bad firms and the value of stock from good firms. This will not augur well for good firms as their stock is underpriced and they will be reluctant to sell.

When the financial market is efficient, investors of stock would be able to earn supernormal returns on their investments. It is therefore neccessary that the price of a corporation's common stock should be equal to the present value estimate of the firm's expected cash flows discounted by it appropriate rate of return.

Collins Company borrowed $1,250,000 from BankTwo on January 1, 2016 in order to expand its mining capabilities. The five-year no

hoa [83]

Answer:

Collins Company must recognize $118,750 (which is annual interest paid on the capital) in its 2017 income statement as an expense item if the method of computing the interest is the flat rate method.

If it is reducing balance rate, then the amount deducted will equal $ 87,823

Explanation:

According to the principles of Financial Accounting, the interest portion of any loan must be entered as an expense item. The portion of the principal being paid back is recorded as part of the liability of the company in the period under consideration. It often goes by the term Loan Payable or Notes Payable.

Hence to arrive at the answers given above, you must note that the year in question is 2017 and that the loan took effect from January 2016.

When computing for interest payable, two methods may be used:

Flat rate method: which requires that the interest rate applicable is computed on the capital and multiplied by the number of years the loan will run.

That is, $1,250,000 x 9.5% x 5 = Total Interest Rate Applicable.

= $593,750 so going by this method, the interest rate to be entered is

= $593, 750/5

= $118,750

2. Reducing balance rate method: This requires the rate of interest to be applied each year succesievely having taken into account the capital which way paid in the previous year.

That is, [Initial Capital-Annual Payments] *9.5%

For year 2016, annual payment will be Zero. Given that the loan started in that year. In 2017 however, the annual payment will apply as shown below:

= [$1,250,000-$325,545] *9.5%

= $924, 455 * 9.5%

= $87,823 (approximately)

Cheers!
