Answer:
Pension expense   $100,000
Explanation:
The computation of the pension expense for the year is shown below:
Service cost   $112,000
Interest cost $64,800 ($810,000 × 8%)  
Amortization of prior service cost $6,600
Amortization of net loss $2,600
Less: Expected return on plan assets -$86,000  ($860,000 × 10%)
Pension expense   $100,000
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
2.87%.
Explanation:
The total return, also refer to as Nominal return or Money return, is based on the nominal interest rate. For example, let's say that you deposited $100 into a bank account and the bank offers you an annual return of 11%. This 11% is the stated interest rate, it is known as nominal interest rate, and it is rate before taking into account the effect of inflation. When we deduct the effect of inflation from nominal rate, it gives us the real rate. Real rate reflects the Purchasing Power. The Fisher equation will be used to determine the expected inflation rate. The Fisher equation is as follows:
                                             (1 + i ) = (1 + r) * (1 + h)
where
i = Nominal (Money) rate
r = Real rate
h = Inflation rate
Simply adjust the equation to calculate the inflation rate;
⇒ h = [(1 + i) / (1 + r)] - 1
OR h = [(1 + .11) / (1 + .079)] - 1 = 2.87%.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The amount of overhead applied to Job T687 is closest to: $280.
Explanation:
Predetermined rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budget Activity
                                  = $ 425,600 /  30,400
                                  = $14.00 per machine-hour
Applied overheads to job T687 = Predetermined rate × Actual machine hours used
                                                      =  $14.00 × 20
                                                      =  $280
Conclusion :
The amount of overhead applied to Job T687 is closest to: $280.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
$2,600
Explanation:
As we know that the inventory should be recorded at a cost or market value which ever is lower
In the given case, 
The cost is 
= 200 units ×$16 per unit 
= $3,200
And, the market value is 
= 200 units × $13 per unit 
= $2,600
So as we can see that the lower value is $2,600 and the same is to be reported on the balance sheet
