Answer:

Floyd Corporation

a. Projected benefit obligation, 01/01/2020 =  $ 3,142,000

b. Plan asset value, 01/01/2020   =                  $ 3,308,000

Corridor:

10% of greater of (a) or (b) [(b) in this case] =     $330,800

Actuarial loss =                                                    ($438,720)

a) Minimum Amount to be amortized =              $107,920

Average remaining service life of employees = 7.10  years

b) Amount to include in pension cost for 2020 = $15,200

Explanation:

Floyd is required to use the Corridor approach to determine the amount of gains and losses to recognize (amortize) in pension expense each period.  The corridor approach is a technique used to reduce the amounts of gains and losses to be recognized as an adjustment to pension expense.

With this technique gains and losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related asset value are recognized.  The 10 percent is the corridor.

Any excess over the 10 percent should be amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to participate in the plan.  This amount represents the minimum amount a company can recognize.   No gain or loss is recognized when the gains or losses are not in excess of 10% of the appropriate amount.

The corridor reduces the volatility of the pension expense.

The number of employees in a company is reduced in the ratio 3 : 2 and the salary of each employee is increased in the ratio 4 :
Doss [256]

Answer:

The initial expenditure of the company on salary is Rs. 72.000

Explanation:

First we need to express the employees ratio in letter

3A=B

2C=D

A and C being the amount of employees

B the salary before, D the salary after

They say the salary after is the slary before minus Rs. 12.000

we can express this as D=B-12.000

We know to that the salary of each employee increased 4 to 5

Then C=(5/4)A or A=(4/5)C

We can have the following equation

2((5/4)A)=B-12.000

A=(2/5)(B-12.000)

we use this in the first expression

3(2/5)(B-12.000)=B

1,2B-14400=B

0,2B=14400

B=72.000

Month Maintenance Machine Health Number of Shipping Units
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

1. Variable cost = Shipping costs

Fixed cost = Health Insurance

Mixed cost = Maintenance costs

Shipping costs are variable because a unit shipped costs $3.60. The total shipping cost for each month varies according to the units shipped in the month.

Health Insurance costs are fixed as there is no change in cost notwithstanding the number of employees in each month.  The total health insurance cost remains the same every month.

Maintenance costs are mixed for each month, as there is a fixed element and a variable element.

2. Cost function for each cost:

Maintenance = $4,200 + $2.10 per machine hour

Health Insurance = $8,600

Shipping cost = $3.60 per unit

3. Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

where m = machine hours

and s =  units shipped

4. The total operating cost for the month

= $46,040

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Month     Maintenance Machine  Health   Number of  Shipping     Units

                     costs        Hours  Insurance  Employees   Costs    Shipped

January          4500       165         8600            68            25778       7160

February        4452       120         8600            75           29664      8240

March            4600       230        8600            92            28674      7965

April               4850        318        8600           105           23058      8405

May                5166       460        8600            89            21294       5915

June              4760       280        8600            87            33282      9245

July                4910       340        8600            93             31428      8730

August         4960       360        8600            88            30924       8415

September  5070       420         8600            95             25110     6975

October      5250       495         8600           102           25866      7185

November   5271        510         8600            97             20124    5590

December  4760       275         8600            94            34596     9610

Cost Function for each cost:

Maintenance cost:

                     Machine Cost

                        Hours

November         510    5271

February           120    4452

Difference       390      819

Variable cost = $2.10 (819/390)

Fixed cost = $4,200 ($5,271 - ($2.10*510))  

Health Insurance:

Fixed cost = $8,600

Shipping cost:

Variable cost = $3.60 per unit

Cost function = $4,200 + $2.10m + $8,600 + $3.60s

= $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

February cost = $12,800 + $2.1(120) + $3.6(8240)

= $12,800 + $252 + $29,664

= $42,716

IF:

Machine hours = 400

Employees = 80

Shipped units = 9,000

The total operating cost for the month will be:

Cost function = $12,800 + $2.1m + $3.6s

= $12,800 + ($2.1 * 400) + ($3.6 * 9,000)

= $12,800 + $840 + $32,400

= $46,040

Can I Plss get some help on this
Verdich [7]

Based on the inflation rate and the fact that it is rising, the right recommendation would be to A. raise the reserve ratio.

<h3 /><h3>How can you decrease inflation?</h3>

Inflation can be reduced when the reserve ratio is raised because it will reduce the amount of money that banks have to loan out.

This means that there will be less money in the economy which will reduce inflation because less money means less demand for goods and services.
