Answer: They are Riskless

Explanation:

People invest in Treasury bills because they are sure that they will get a return. U.S. Treasury bills are the safest securities in the world and as such investors are essentially guaranteed their money back plus little interest.

This is in contrast with stocks which can bring great returns at one point and result in massive losses in another. Since 1926 for instance, there have been events that led to massive losses in the stock market such as the Great Depression, Black Monday and the Great Recession.

Through all those, the Treasury bills still gave people returns.

irinina [24]

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
