Stanley-Morgan Industries adopted a defined benefit pension plan on April 12, 2021. The provisions of the plan were not made ret

roactive to prior years. A local bank, engaged as trustee for the plan assets, expects plan assets to earn a 10% rate of return. The actual return was also 10% in 2021 and 2022\.\* A consulting firm, engaged as actuary, recommends 5% as the appropriate discount rate. The service cost is $260,000 for 2021 and $350,000 for 2022. Year-end funding is $270,000 for 2021 and $280,000 for 2022. No assumptions or estimates were revised during 2021.
We assume the estimated return was based on the actual return on similar investments at the inception of the plan and that, since the estimate didn't change, that also was the actual rate in 2022.

A 14-week construction activity requires a crane that rents for $1,000 per week and a crew of general laborers that costs $5,000
Helen [10]

Answer: C) $2,000 per week.

Explanation:

The slope of the project refers to the additional amount that it would cost to be able to finish the project faster than schedule.

In the question, the construction activity is for 14 weeks at a rate of $5,000 for the laborers per week. If you wanted to reduce this project duration to 10 weeks, you will have to spend an additional $2,000 more per week.

This $2,000 is therefore the slope of the activity.
