The study of economics is really boring, and it has little to do with my daily life.

zvonat [6]

Studying economics can be really boring, because of the amount of technical terms that can be difficult for everyone to understand, but it is important to learn economics as we deal with it in our daily life.

All of our activities are related to economics, as economics is defined as the science that studies the economic process, the distribution of wealth and resources for satisfying human needs and well-being.

Through economics we can understand several variables that impact our lives, such as:

manage personal finances,
understand the world's economic scenario,
understand the news,
make investments.

Therefore, it is necessary for each individual to have a base of economic knowledge to better understand how and why things happen in the world and how they directly impact our lives.

On January 1, 2018, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $48 million. During 2018 pension benefits paid by th

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

$59.8 million.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year, the Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) was $48 million, however, during the year this amount was affected by several factors that are explained in the problem statement: the service cost ($13 million), the interest costs (defined by a discount rate of 10%) and the pension benefits paid by the company ($6 million).

To understand how it was modified exactly, first, we will do a theoretical analysis and then present it more graphically as a financial statement.

1. Theoretical analysis

Firstly, a Projected Benefit Obligation (PBO) is a measure that reflects how much a company needs at the present time (December 31, 2018) to cover future pension liabilities. We know that the year began with a PBO of $48 million. However, this amount must be added to the service costs ($13 million), which is the increase in the present value of the liabilities, because the employees have completed another year in the company and that implies an increase in their pension credit.

Therefore, so far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 million. To this amount must be added the interest cost which is the annual interest amount on the unpaid balance of the PBO. In this case, an interest rate of 10% is handled. Therefore the amount of interest is equal to $48 million (original PBO) * 10% = 4.8 million.

So far, the PBO at December 31, 2018 is $61 + $4.8 = $65.8 million

Finally, the pension benefits paid by the trustee during 2018 should be subtracted, since they are a partial payment of the PBO.

Therefore, we have: $65.8 - $6 = $59.8

2. As a financial statement.

A small country that uses the U.S. dollar as its currency is measuring its GDP for the current year. Personal consumption expend

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$117,800

Explanation:

GDP formula is:

GDP= Consumption (C)+ Investment (I)+ Government expenditure ()+ Net exports (exports-imports)

Last year, C= $69,000 and it increased 10% (100%+10%=110%),

This year: C= $69,000*1.10= $75,900.

Last year: I= $18,000 and it decreased 5% (100%-5%=95%).

This year: I= $18,000*0,95= $17,100

Last year: G=$19,000 and it increased by 20% (100%+20%=120%)

This year: G= $ 19,000*1.20=$22,800

Last year: X-M= $2000 and it remained the same

This year: X-M= $2000

Current year´s GDP= $75,900+$17,100+$22,800+$2000= $117,800

The following are tge workings:

w.1: Treasury stock = $5,000 * $20 = $10,000

w.2: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares - Shares repurchase) * Dividend per share = (60,000 - 5,000) * $4 = 55,000 * $4 = $220,000

w.3: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 1,875 * $24 = $45,000

w.4 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 1,875 * $20 = $37,500

w.5: Additional paid in capital = Number of shares sold * (Selling price per share - Treasury price per share) = 1,875 * ($24 - $20) = $7,500

w.6: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 3,125 * $17 = $53,125

w.7 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 3,125 * $20 = $62,500

w.8: Balancing figure = Treasury stock (w.7) – Cash (w.7) - Additional paid in capital (w.5) = $62,500 - $53,125 - $7,500 = $1,875

w.9: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares * Dividend per share = 60,000 * $4 = $240,000
