Answer:

The answer is $593,440.

Explanation:

Service cost = $600,000

Less: Expected return on plan assets (W1) = ($66,560)

Pension expense for the year 2022 = $593,440

Working (W1):

Funding on 1st January 2021 = $400,000

Add: actual return on 31 December 2021 = $400,000×8% = $32,000

Balance of plan assets on 31 December, 2021 = $432,000

Add: Current funding on 1st January 2022 = $400,000

Balance of plan assets on 1st January 2022 = $832,000

Balance of plan assets on 31st December 2022 = $832,000×8% = $66,560

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$8,693

Explanation:

Effective annual interets rate: AI = (1+i/m)^n - 1

i = 3*2=6%, m = 26

AI = [1+6%/26]^26 - 1

AI = 1.0617 - 1

AI = 0.0617

Let semi annual income be $X. So, present value of four semiannual income will be aggregated to get principal invetsed money of $30,000

30,000 = ∑[X/1.0617^n}

30,000 = 3.451 * X

X = 8693.132425383947

X = $8,693

Therefore, firm have to earn $8,693 after every 6 months at an interest rate of 3% per week to recover $30,000 initial investment in 2 years

You want to purchase a new motorcycle that costs $29,800. The most you can pay each month is $510 over the life of the 78-month
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:20,5369%

Explanation:We know APR is the Annual Percentage Rate that is paid over a loan. If we are to pay during 78 months at most $510 each month, then we could pay in total 510*78=$39780 in the course of the six years and a half that constitute the 78 months. This means that yearly we can pay in interest $39780/6,5=$6120 each year, this represents the interest over the loaned money, i.e., the $29800. Then the APR is

\\\frac{6120}{29800} =20,5369\% annualy or 1,71141% monthly and it is the highest APR you could afford, 20.5369%
