Answer:

$360,000.

Explanation:

Given:

PBO 1/1/17 = $6,000,000

PBO 12/21/17 = $6,600,000

Discount rate = 6% = 6 / 100 = 0.06

Expected rate of return = 8% = 8 / 100 = 0.08

Interest cost component of pension expense = ?

Computation of Interest cost component of pension expense:

Interest will be payable on opening balance:

= PBO 1/1/17 x Discount rate

= $6,000,000 x 0.06

= $360,000.

According to the contingency model, a relationship-oriented leadership style works best in ______ situations.
Shalnov [3]

The best answer would be best in (C) moderate control situations.

This is because in situations where relationship-oriented leadership style would be most suitable, <u>the task structures are generally already quite good, and thus a high degree of control is unnecessary.</u> That does not mean any kind of supervisory activities are unnecessary though, since any task should be carefully monitored in terms of their quality and effectiveness.

Suppose Congress approves a proposed "temporary worker" program and American firms find
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The market for lettuce would be impacted in three ways: labor supply would increase, meaning that lettuce producers can now hire more workers for a lower price.

This cheaper labor would likely increase supply, because more producers would try to enter the market to take advantage of the cheap workers.

Finally, the lower labor costs, and the higer supply, would reduce the price of lettuce, meaning that consumers will be able to buy more lettuce for less money.

Gentle Ben's Bar and Restaurant uses 6,700 quart bottles of an imported wine each year. The effervescent wine costs $4 per bottl
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a. The answer is:762 bottlé.

b. The answer is: 487 bottles.

Explanation:

a. The economic order quantity is calculated as: \sqrt{(2xDxS/H)} = \sqrt{2 x 6968 x 25)/0.6 = 762 units because: D = annual demand = Weekly demand x week opening per year = 134 x 52 = 6968; S = Cost per order = 25; H = Holding cost per unit = 15% x purchase price = 15% x 4 = 0.6

b. Inventory level to place order:

With the inventory system providing a 95 percent service probability, z level is 1.64 (using the NORM.S.INV function in excel).

So Inventory level to place order = 134 * 3 + 1.64 * 30 * 3^0.5= 487 bottles.

An asset that costs $14,400 and has accumulated depreciation of $8,000 is sold for $5,600. What amount of gain or loss will be r
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

C. Loss of $800

Explanation:

Given that

Purchase price = 14400

Depreciation = 8000

Selling price = 5600

Thus,

Value of asset after depreciation = Purchase price - Depreciation

= 14400 - 8000

= 6400.

Therefore,

Difference between current value and price sold = value of asset after depreciation - selling price

= 6400 - 5600

= 800

Therefore, there was a loss of $800, since the selling price is less than the value of asset after depreciation.
