Pronghorn Corp. has the following beginning-of-the-year present values for its projected benefit obligation and market-related v

alues for its pension plan assets.
Projected Plan
Benefit Assets
Obligation Value
2013 2,000,000 $1,900,000
2014 2,400,000 2,500,000
2015 2,950,000 2,600,000
2016 3,600,000 3,000,000
The average remaining service life per employee in 2016 and 2017 is 10 years and in 2018 and 2019 is 12 years. The net gain or loss that occurred during each year is as follows: 2016, $288,400 loss; 2017, $92,700 loss; 2018, $11,330 loss; and 2019, $25,750 gain. (In working the solution, the gains and losses must be aggregated to arrive at year-end balances).
Using the corridor approach, compute the amount of net gain or loss amortized and charged to pension expense in each of the four years, setting up an appropriate schedule.

Crockin Corporation is considering a machine that will save $9,000 a year in cash operating costs each year for the next six yea
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

IRR = 16.5%

Explanation:

T<em>he IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero  </em>

<em>If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation  </em>

<em>If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation  </em>

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

NPV = PV of annual savings - initial cost

PV of annual savings = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n) )/r

A- annual savings in operating cost , r- rate of return, n- number of years

NPVa  at 10% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000×  1-1.1^-6)/0.1 =   39,197.35  

NPV =    65,328.91 - 33,165 =  6,032.35  

NPVb at 20% discount rate

PV of cash inflow = (9,000×  1-1.2^-6)/0.2=  (3,235.41)

NPV = 29,929.59  -33,165 = (3,235.41)

IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%

IRR = 10% + ( (6,032.35/(6,032.35 +3,235.41) )× (20-10)%= 16.51%

IRR = 16.5%

Suppose an economy produces only cranberries and maple syrup. In 2010, 50 units of cranberries are sold at $20 per unit and 100
mestny [16]

Answer:

A. 90

Explanation:

nominal GDP = 50*20 + 100*8 = 1800

real GDP = 50*10 + 100*15 = 2000

GDP deflator = (nominal GDP/ real GDP)*100 = (1800/2000)*100 = 90

Recognized gain will be:

= Amount realized - Adjusted basis

= $900,000 - $500,000

= $400,000

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.

Explanation:

A. $698,494.97

B. $593,720.72

C. $838,193.96

D. $440,051.83

Solution:

First we need to see which among the four options is the correct value.

For that we need to find the rate:

Rate = Yield to Maturity/2

Yield to Maturity = 11%

So,

Rate = 11/2

Rate = 5.5%

Now, we need to find the Nper ( Number of periods for the loan)

Nper = 5 x 2 = 10 years.

Nper = 10 years

Now, we need to find PMT which is a financial function used to calculate the amount to be paid for the loan based on constant payments and interest.

PMT = (3%/2) x par value

PMT = (3%/2)x 1,000,000

PMT = 15000

Now, For future value, we have par value.

So,

Par Value = Future Value = FV = 1,000,000

Now, we have to find the PV = Present Value or the price of the bond.

For this we need to use PV function on excel.

Formula:

Price = - PV(Rate, Nper, PMT, FV)

Plugging the values in Excel like this and we get:

Price = -PV (5.5%,10,15000,1000000)

Price = $698,494.97

Hence, A = $698,494.97 is the right answer.

And Assuming that interest rates remain constant, the T-note’s price is expected to Increase.
