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

alexdok [17]

Answer:

variable cost per bushel = $0.18848

total fixed costs = $6,652

Explanation:

we can use the high-low method of accounting to determine the variable and fixed costs:

  • highest activity cost = $25,500
  • highest activity level = 100,000 bushels

  • lowest activity cost = $7,500 (*doesn't make sense to use $75,000)
  • lowest activity level = 4,500

variable cost per unit = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity units - lowest activity units)

variable cost per unit = ($25,500 - $7,500) / (100,000 - 4,500) = $18,000 / 95,500 bushels = $0.18848 per bushel, since the quantities are large, we cannot round up

fixed costs = highest activity cost - (variable cost x highest activity units)

fixed costs = $25,500 - ($0.18848 x 100,000) = $6,652

Answer:

58.81% annual

or 3.93% monthly

Explanation:

Using a financial calculator, we can determine the internal rate of return of this investment. The initial outlay is -$110,000, and the 60 $4,800 cash flows follow. The IRR is 3.93 per month. In order to determine the effective annual rate, we can use the following formula:

effective annual rate = (1 + 3.93%)¹² - 1 = 58.81%
