Answer:
beginning projected benefit obligation or the market-related asset value
Explanation:
The balance of the Unrecognized Net Gain or Loss account subject to amortization only if it exceeds 10% of the larger of the beginning balances of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of the plan assets.
Amortization is simply the procedure or the process of retiring a debt or recovering a capital investment. This can be done via scheduled, systematic repayment of the principal or a program of periodic contributions to a sinking fund or debt retirement fund.
Answer: $1,021,382
Explanation:
The Consumer Price index (CPI) is an economic measure that enables us calculate inflation. It checks for a price changes in a group or basket of goods and then averages these price changes to find out how much they may have changed overtime.
A higher CPI means prices have increased.
CPI can then be used to calculate the potential values of goods in different years using another year as a base. This means that prices of goods in one year can be written in terms of prices in another year.
This can be done by Dividing the CPI in the current year by the CPI in the base year (year being expressed in terms of) and then multiplying the result by the price of the good in question.
In this case the good is the salary of $75,000.
The 2007 equivalent of a 1931 salary will therefore be,
= 75,000 * ( 207/15.2)
= $1,021,381.57
= $1,021,382
Answer:
Lower by $8,250
Explanation:
The operating income reported will be different as the unit level of inventory increased during the account period
.
Denominator rate:
= Fixed manufacturing costs ÷ Budgeted denominator level
= 18,000 ÷ 2,400
= 7.5
Operative income:
= Total Units produced - (Total units sold × Denominator rate)
= 2,700 - (1,600 × 7.5
)
= 1,100 × 7.5
= $8,250
Lower by $8,250 under the variable costing because 8250 of fixed manufacturing cost remain in inventory under absorption.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The effects of both changes on price is as follows:
1. The Greater Effect - change in demand due to the falling price of natural gas (a substitute for oil)
As price of natural gas, a substitute for oil, falls, demand for oil will fall pushing oil producers to respond by cutting crude oil prices in a bid to sustain demand and prevent its fall. <em>Thus, the effect is a price fall</em>.
2. The Lesser Effect - change in supply due to disruptions in oil-well operations in the Middle East
Due to supply disruptions which will result is a reduction in supply, the price of oil will tend to increase as consumers buy more of a commodity in less supply. <em>Thus, the effect on price is a rise</em>.
There, since the greater effect is a price fall, and the lesser effect is a price rise, equilibrium price is expected to fall.
When producers do not have to pay the full costs of producing a product, they tend to OVER PRODUCE THE PRODUCT BECAUSE OF A SUPPLY SIDE MARKET FAILURE.
When producers are required to pay less than their cost of production for manufacturing their products they tend to produce more products, this is because, producing more products will cost less in production costs compare to if they are required to pay the full cost of production.
