Answer:
The amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31 was $ 38.34 million
Explanation:
According to the given data, we have the following:
Beginning PBO= $29.4 million
Service cost= $9.4 million
The actuary's discount rate was 10%, hence Interest cost (10% x $29.4 million)= $2.94 million
Also, there is a Loss (gain) on PBO=$0
, and pension benefits paid by the trustee were $3.4 million.
Therefore, to calculate the amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31 we would have to use the following formula:
Ending PBO=Beginning PBO+Service cost+Interest cost-pension benefits
=$29.4 million+$9.4 million+$2.94-$3.4 million
=$38.34 million

Yes this statement was an error and its effect on financial statements of Woods will be that asset ( equipment in this case) would be overstated and obviously the net income of the company would also increase.
Explanation:
Here Woods accountant has made the error of debiting the cost of $500 on the asset account ( equipment) , which shouldn't have happened as the asset accounts have natural debit balance which means that when an amount is debited to the asset account it will increase the value of the asset.
So therefore here we can say that the asset here is overstated and if the assets are shown overstated it is natural that the income reflected would also be overstated.

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the <u>value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>this year's prices </u>by the <u>value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year </u>using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100.
