Kenseth Corp. has the following beginning-of-the-year present values for its projected benefit obligation and market-related val

ues for its pension plan assets.
Projected Benefit Obligation Plan Assets Value
2019 $2,000,000 $1,900,000
2020 2,400,000 2,500,000
2021 2,950,000 2,600,000
2022 3,600,000 3,000,000
The average remaining service life per employee in 2019 and 2020 is 10 years and in 2021 and 2022 is 12 years. The net gain or loss that occurred during each year is as follows: 2019, $280,000 loss; 2020, $90,000 loss; 2021, $11,000 loss; and 2022, $25,000 gain.
Using the corridor approach, compute the amount of net gain or loss amortized and charged to pension expense in each of the four years, setting up an appropriate schedule.

2011 $2,000,000 $1,900,000 $200,000 $ 0 $0

2014 $3,600,000 $3,000,000 $360,000 372,000(e) $1,000(f)

Calculation for 10%Corridor

2011 $0

2012 10%*$2,500,000 =$250,000

2013 10%*$2,950,000 =$295,000

2014 10%*$3,600,000 =$360,000

Calculation for Accumulated Depreciation and Minimum Amortization of Loss

a. As at the beginning of the year

b. ($280,000 – $250,000) ÷ 10 years = $3,000

c. $280,000 – $3,000 + $90,000 = $367,000

d. ($367,000 – $295,000) ÷ 12 years = $6,000

e. $367,000 – $6,000 + $11,000 = $372,000

f ($372,000 – $360,000) ÷ 12 years = $1,000

Therefore the net gain or loss amortized and charged to pension expense under the corridor approach are :

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: The cost of capital for a firm with no debt in its capital structure.

Explanation:

Leverage in finance refers to the use of debt. Unlevered capital therefore would refer to capital that is without debt which means that an unlevered cost of capital is one with no debt in its capital structure.

Companies with such a capital structure derive their capital 100% from Equity and as such do not pay interest. This means however, that they will not benefit from the tax shields that interest payments offer.

Perine Company has 5,220 pounds of raw materials in its December 31, 2019, ending inventory. Required production for January and

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 5,220 pounds

Production:

January= 4,500 units

February= 5,900 units

4 pounds of raw materials are needed for each unit

The estimated cost per pound is $7.

Management desires an ending inventory equal to 29% of next month’s materials requirements.

First, we need to calculate the number of pounds needed for each month:

January= 4,500*4= 18,000 pounds

February= 5,900*4= 23,600 pounds

<u>Direct material budget January:</u>

Production= 18,000

Desired ending inventory= (0.29*23,600)= 6,844

Beginning inventory= (5,220)

Total pounds= 19,624

Total cost= 19,624*7= $137,368

Suppose that the duopolists Carl and Simon face an inverse demand function for pumpkins of P = 400 - Q, where Q = Qs + Qc is the

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

the Cournot-Nash equilibrium, Simon's production is 82 units

Explanation:

The Cournot-Nash Equilibrium for Simon's production is calculated as follows:

$P = 400 - Q \\ \\ Q = Q_s + Q_c$

Reaction function of Carl is as follows:

Carl maximize profit at $HR_c = HC_c$

$TR_c = P*Q_c$

$TR_c = (400 -Q_s -Q_c)Q_c$

$TR_c = 400Q_c -Q_sQ_c -Q_c^2$

⇒ $HR_c = \delta TR_c/ \delta Q_c$

$HR_c =400 -Q_s -2 Q_c$

$C_c = 30 Q_c + Q_c^2$

⇒ $HC_c = \delta C_c/ \delta Q_c$

$HC_c =30+2Q_c$

Set $HR_c = HC_c$

$400 - Q_s - 2 Q_c = 30 - 2Q_c \\ \\ 400 - Q_s -30 = 2Q_c + 2Q_c \\\\(370 Q_s) = 4 Q_c \\ \\ Q_c = (370-Q_s)/4 \\ \\ Q_c = 92.5 - 0.25 Q_s \to Reaction \ function \ of \ Carl --- equation (1)$

Reaction function of Simon

Since Simon maximize profit at $HR_s = HC_s$

$TR_s = PQ_s \\ \\ TR_s = (400-Q_c -Q_s)Q_s \\ \\ TR_s = 400 Q_s - Q_cQ_s - Q_s^2$

$HR_s = \delta TR_s/ \delta Q_s$

$HR_s =400 - Q_c -2Q_s$

$C_s = Q_s^2$

$HC_s= \delta C_s/ \delta Q_s$

$HC_s=2Q_s$

Set $HR_s = HC_s$

$400- Q_c - 2Q_s = 2Q_s \\ \\ 400 - Q_c = 2Q_s+2Q_s \\ \\ 4Q_s = 400 - Q_c \\ \\ Q_s = (4000- Q_c)/4 \\ \\ Q_s = 100 -0.25 Q_c --- Reaction \ function \ of \ Simon \ -- equation (2)$

Substituting equation (1) into equation (2)

$Q_s =100 -0.25Q_c \\ \\ Q_s = 100 - 0.25(92.5-0.25 Q_s) \\ \\ Q_s = 100 -23.125 +0.0625Q_s \\ \\ (Q_s-0.0625Q_s) = 76.375 \\ \\ 0.9375 Q_s = 76.875 \\ \\ Q_s = 76.375/0.9375 \\ \\ Q_s = 82$

Thus; the Cournot-Nash equilibrium, Simon's production is 82 units
