Answer: Option A

                                           

Explanation: In simple words, goodwill refers to the additional value that an organisation have from its identifiable assets due to its operations over a period of time.

In other words, it can be defined as an intangible asset which an organisation creates over a period of time while establishing the brand image. These assets are not depreciated but are tested for impairment every year. For example brands like apple, Reebok and McDonald have high goodwill in the market which attracts customers towards them

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is A.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Credit to the PBO for $13,500

Explanation:

Defined benefit pension plan is a pension structure adopted by a company in which an employee is guaranteed payments in the future for example after retirement. Since the payments are given far into the future, complex calculations are required to compute how to account for annual expenses and changes in pension obligation.

Now, under the above plan, the amount of the future benefits that will be paid for by the company depends on a multitude of factors such length of time served, an employee lifespan. The annual expense needs to match the recognition of the related expense in the period in which the particular employee renders the service for which they will be paid in the future.

So, the formula for Periodic (Annual) Pension Expense is Interest Costs (Interest incurred on the beginning Projected Benefit Obligation) + Service Costs (Present Value of the projected retirement benefits earned in the current period) - Actual Return on Plan Assets (the returns provided by the assets held under the Company's pension plan) + Amortization of Prior Service Costs (changes to pension expense as a retroactive amendments to the pension plan) +/- Amortization of Actuarial Gains or Losses (the change in the PBO as a result of changes in assumptions used to calculate the PBO).

The question provides us with the interest costs, the services costs, and the expected return on plan assets with other costs being nil.

Therefore, annual pension expense is Service Costs + Interest Costs - Expected Return on Plan Assets = 18,500 + 5,500 - 10,500 = 13,500.

The journal entry is a credit to the PBO of the amount of the expense and a debit to the Pension Expense. Note that the difference between ending PBO and beginning PBO is NOT equivalent to annual expense since other items such as company's contribution and changes in fair value of the liability also impact the PBO.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Bilateral Contract

Explanation:

A bilateral contract is an agreement between two parties in which each side agrees to fulfill his or her side of the bargain.

The bilateral contract is the most common kind of binding agreement. Each party is both an obligor (a person who is bound to another) to its own promise, and an obligee (a person to whom another is obligated or bound) on the other party's promise. A contract is signed so that the agreement is clear and legally enforceable.

In this case Windsor promises to pay $375 and Gary promises to deliver 20 pounds of cheese.

Shkiper50 [21]
<span>Decrease by $57,400 per month. Looks look at the cash flow for continuing to produce product a and discontinuing product a. Continuing to produce Income = 15900 * $29 = $461,100 Variable Expenses = 15900 * 23 = $365,700 Fixed overhead = $109,000 Total cash flow = $461,100 - $365,700 - $109,000 = -$13,600 So the Lusk company is losing $13,600 per month while producing product a. Let's see what happens if they stop producing it. Income = $0 Variable Expenses = $0 Fixed overhead = $71,000 Total cash flow = $0 - $71,000 = -$71,000 So if they stop producing it, their fixed overhead decreases, but is still at $71,000 per month, for a total loss per month of $71,000. The conclusion is to either lose $13,600 per month, or $71,000 per month. So if they stop production of product a, their loss per month will increase by $57,400.</span>
