Answer: See attachment and explanation.

Explanation:

a. Determine the components of pension expense that the company would recognize in 2017.

Service cost = $52,000

Add: Interest on projected benefit obligation = $380,000 × 10% = $38,000

Less: Actual return on plan asset = ($11000)

Less: Unexpected loss = 200,000 × 10% - 11,000 = ($9000)

Ammortization of prior service cost = $15000

Pension expense = $85,000

b. The journal entry to record the pension expense and the company’s funding of the pension plan in 2017 has been attached.

c. The amount of the 2017 increase/decrease in gains or losses and the amount to be amortized in 2017 and 2018 has been attached.

d. The pension amounts reported in the financial statement as of December 31, 2017 will be $85,000.

Bramble Inc. issues 500 shares of $10 par value common stock and 100 shares of $100 par value preferred stock for a lump sum of
Ket [755]

Answer:

(A)

cash               110,000  debit

      common stock              5,000 credit

      additional paid-in CS   81,086 credit

      preferred stock            10,000 credit

      additional paid-in PS   13, 914 credit

(B)

cash               110,000  debit

      common stock               5,000 credit

      additional paid-in CS   90,000 credit

      preferred stock             10,000 credit

      additional paid-in PS      5,000 credit

Explanation:

Market Value

500 x 180 = 90,000  0,7826 CS

100 x 225 = 25,000  0, 2174 Preferred

total             115,000

Issuance:    110,000

Preferred: 21.74% of 110,000 = 23,914

face value:            100 x100     10,000

additional paid-in                     13,914

Common: 78.26% of 110,000 = 86,086

face value:          500 x 10      =   5,000

additional paid-in                        81,086

If we can only determinate the common stock:

total issuance - common stock = preferred stock

110,000 - 190 x 500 = 110,000 -  95,000 = 15,000 preferred stock

additional paid-in CS: 110,000 - 5,000 = 105,000

additional paid-in PS: 15,000 - 10,000 = 5,000

Allocated cost:

B7= 0.23*600,000= 138,000

K6= 0.50*600,000= 300,000

X9= 0.27*600,000= 162,000
