interest cost (the increase in pension costs due to the passage of time), the expected return on plan assets (the amount that ma

nagers anticipate they will earn on the plan's investments), and other costs were all reflected in operating income. Under the new rules (which are now in effect), service costs will be reported as an operating cost and all the other pension costs and any expected returns will be reported as non-operating items.

Answer:

The change in operating income for GM is that the operating income will increase by the amount of other pension costs less expected returns.

However, this change will not affect the net income, as all the items will still be accounted for, accordingly.

Explanation:

GM's pension service cost is the present value of the amount that the GM is required by law to set aside annually to meet its employees' pension-benefits obligations.  The reason for the separation is that the service cost is a compensation cost, whereas other pension costs are financial costs and not compensation costs.  By this separation, the operating income of GM will increase.

There are 20 automatic turning machines in the lathe department. Batches of parts are machined in the department. Each batch con
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The capacity of the lathe department is 3200 parts/week. The workers capacity is the bottleneck.

Explanation:

In this case we have to compare the machine capacity and the worker capacity, and detecting shich one is limitating the capacity of the department.

Machine capacity

The time it takes for a machine to process a batch is

Time_{batch}=T_{setup} + T_{machining}=5+(9/60)*100=5+15=20 h

In 40-hour week, every machine can process 2 batches/week.

With 20 machines, the capacity of the department is 2*20=40 batch/week (4000 pcs/week).

Workers capacity

With 40-hour week and 5-hours setup, every worker can make (40/5)=8 setups a week.

If the department has 4 workers, the amount of setups that can be done is 4*8=32 setups/week. That means that only 32 batches can be processed per week (3200 pcs/week).

The workers resource is the limitating capacity, and therefore the capacity of the lathe department.

In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

c) $25,000

Explanation:

A property dividend should be recorded in retained earnings at the property's  <u>market value at date of declaration.</u>

<u>The date of declaration is the date on which the firm has made the commitment to pay the dividend. The market value on this date is the value that was considered when the board made the decision to distribute a property dividend and thus is the appropriate measure of the sacrifice to the firm. </u>

<u> </u>In application to the scenario, <u>the property dividend will be recorded in retained earnings at the market value at the date of declaration which is Jan 15 </u>NOT on the day it is payable.

Hence, retained earnings will reduce by $25,000

In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend of the Oil stock to shareholders of record on February 1, 20X6, payable on February 15, 20X6. During 20X6, the Oil stock had the following market values:  

January 15

$25,000

February 1

charle [14.2K]
The answer is 40%, in which the following are given: the Variable expense is equal to 20 dollars per unit and Sales is equal to 50 dollars per unit. Use the formula Variable Expense Ratio = Variable Expenses / Sales to get the answer. 

Variable Expense Ratio = Variable Expenses / Sales
Variable Expense Ratio = 20 dollars per unit / 50 dollars per unit
Variable Expense Ratio = 40 %

The variable expense ratio is an expression of variable production costs of the company as a percentage of sales, calculated as variable expense divided by total sales. It compares a cost that alters with levels of production to the number of revenues generated by production.
