Answer: 4%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year and that at the end of the year, retiree benefits paid by the trustee were $28 million and cash invested in the pension fund was $32 million.
Based on the above scenario, the percentage rate of return on plan assets goes thus:
Opening balance of plan assets 1200
Add:- Actual return = 48
Add:- contributions = 32
Less :- retiree benefits = -28
Closing balance of plan assets = 1252
It should be noted that the actual return is the balancing figure which is calculated as:
= 1252 + 28 - 1200 - 32
= 48
The percentage rate of return on plan assets will now be:
= 48/1200
=0.04
= 4%

Answer:
A. $117 million
B.13%
C. $21.75
Explanation:
B. Calculation to determine How large a loss in dollar terms will existing FARO shareholders experience on the announcement date
Expected Loss= 390*30%
Expected Loss= $117 millions
Therefore How large a loss in dollar terms will existing FARO shareholders experience on the announcement date will be $117 millions
B. Calculation to determine What percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity prior to the announcement is this expected gain or loss
First step is to calculate the Existing Shares Value
Existing Shares Value =36*$25
Existing Shares Value= $900 millions
Now let calculate the Expected Loss %
Expected Loss % = $ 117/$ 900
Expected Loss % = 13%
Therefore the percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity prior to the announcement is this expected gain or loss will be 13%
C. Calculation to determine At what price should FARO expect its existing shares to sell immediately after the announcement
Price Per Share: $ 25*(1 - 0.13)
Price Per Share$25*0.87
Price Per Share: $21.75
Therefore what price should FARO expect its existing shares to sell immediately after the announcement is $21.75
