Answer:

$331,500

Explanation:

The computation of the ending balance of the pension benefit obligation is shown below:

= Opening balance of PBO + service cost + interest cost - pension benefits

= $265,000 + $80,000 + $26,500 - $40,000

= $331,500

The computation of the interest cost is shown below:

= Opening balance of PBO × discount rate

= $265,000 × 10%

= $26,500

The increased value of the plan assets would be ignored.

g When a sexual harassment complaint is filed speculation sometime occurs about who is the complainant. One result can be retali
frez [133]

Answer and explanation:

Sexual harassment is the act by which employees of an organization tend to use their hierarchical position in the firm to influence other employees in engaging personal relationships with them, without the need for the harassed employee to be interested in such a relationship.

The first step to mitigate this unethical behavior is to file a complaint in the Human Resources (HR) department of the company. If there are doubts about the complainant employee, that employee should look for protection from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which is the governmental agency in charge of enforcing rules against any type of discrimination or unfair treatment in the work-frame.

rawford Trucking plans to dispose of two trucks in 2022. They sell the first truck on January 2 and the second truck on July 9.
MakcuM [25]

Answer: C : They will need to subtract a partial year of depreciation from the book value of the second truck but not the first truck.

Explanation:

When disposing of fixed assets such as vehicles, depreciation has to be charged on them to see their Net Book Value.

Companies usually depreciate their vehicles on a yearly basis in accordance with the end of their fiscal year. This company therefore most likely depreciates on December 31.

The first truck is sold 2 days after this Depreciation so there is no need to add more depreciation to it.

However the second truck on the other hand was sold 6 months later. Depreciation needs to charged on this substantial period but since it was not for the full year, a partial one needs to be charged.
