Answer:

$87 million

Explanation:

The projected benefit obligation (PBO) is a measurement of the present amount of money needed by a company to cover future pension liabilities. PBO uses how long the employee will work and any increased future obligations to the employee's pension.

Given that:

PBO at the beginning of the year = $80 million

Service cost for the year =  $10 million

Interest =  Discount rate × PBO at beginning of the year = 5% × $80 million = 0.05 × $80 million = $4 million

Actuarial (gain) Loss = Amount paid - Expected money = $5 million - $4 million = $1 million

Benefits paid paid by trustees = $6 million

The total pension expense for the year = PBO at year beginning + Service cost + interest - Actuarial (gain) Loss - benefits = $80 million + $10 million + $4 million - $1 million - $6 million = $87 million

Union Local School District has bonds outstanding with a coupon rate of 4.9 percent paid semiannually and 20 years to maturity.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Ans. Price of the bond is $9,250.57

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to establish the semi-annual coupon of the bond and the semi-annual discount rate (YTM semi-annually)

Coupon=10000*(4.9%/2)= $245

To turn the annaul YTM to semi-annual, we have to use the following equation

YTM(semi-annual)=(1+YTM)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1

YTM(semi-annual)=(1+0.056)^{\frac{1}{2} } -1=0.0276

After all this, we are ready to find the price, here is the math of this.

Price=\frac{245((1+0.0276)^{39}-1) }{0.0276(1+0.0276)^{39} } +\frac{(245+10000)}{(1+0.0276)^{40} } =9250.57

Best of luck.

Suppose that after controlling for age and education, it is found that the average woman earns $0.80 for every $1.00 earned by t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Consider the following explanations

Explanation:

a. The whole argument is based on the controlling of different factors such as age, education and occupation among males and females. Now, this is very subjective how they have controlled occupation. For e.g. – Which all occupation they have considered for as stressful job, which all jobs they have considered as physical tiring jobs. Working in a refinery may be physical tiring job but then working in IT Company can also be tiring.

Therefore since there are lot of factors at play apart the one considered to calculate ratio’s we can say that these differential percentage points can always be more than or less than of what presented in question.

b. The same logic has to be applied to (b) as well. When we say that discrimination account for less than 8 percent of differential we implied to say that occupation nature may have more than 12 percent of differential. Now, if you use above logic and applied from occupation point of view.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C. life estate

Explanation:

A life estate is an estate interest in land that lasts for the life time of the life tenant. The holder of a life estate has a full right to possess the property during their life. A life estate is restrictive in that it prevents the beneficiary from selling the property that produces the income before the beneficiary's death. But the estate cannot continue beyond the life of the beneficiary.  A major benefit of a life estate deed is that it can be used to pass property upon the life tenant's death without it being part of the life tenant’s estate.
