Answer:
A. $20 million
B. $6 million
Explanation:
A.Calculation for pension liability or pension asset that must be reported in the balance sheet
Using this formula
Pension liability=Projected benefit obligation -Plan assets
Where,
Projected benefit obligation =$95 million
Plan assets =$75 million
Let plug in formula
Pension liability =$95 million-$75 million
Pension liability =$20 million
Therefore the pension liability or pension asset that must be reported in the balance sheet will be $20 million.
B. Calculation for if the plan assets were $89 million instead
Using this formula
Pension liability=Projected benefit obligation -Plan assets
Where,
Projected benefit obligation =$95 million
Plan assets =$89 million
Let plug in formula
Pension liability =$95 million-$89 million
Pension liability =$6 million
Therefore if any, pension liability or pension asset must be reported in the balance sheet if the plan assets were $89 million instead will be $6 million .

Tombstones are produced in a competitive price-searcher market. One producer, Rolling Stones, sells 20 tombstones a week at a price of $500 each. Its average total cost is $600. From this information, we can conclude:_______
a. new tombstone firms will want to enter.
b. this producer is losing $2,000 a week.
c. this producer is making an economic profit of $400.
d. this producer is setting MR = MC.
e. this producer should increase production.
Answer:
b. this producer is losing $2,000 a week.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Profit = (Price - Average total cost) × Quantity
= ($500 - $600) × 20
= -$2,000
This negative amount represents that there is a loss of -$2,000
Hence, option B is correct as the producer losing $2,000 in a week
Therefore all the other options are wrong

Which of the following statements regarding corporate bonds is most correct? a. Debentures are riskier than subordinated debentures because they are paid last in the event of bankruptcy.
Answer:
The answer is C. The interest rate on subordinated debentures is likely to be higher than the interest rate on debentures
Explanation:
The options to the question are under the 'Ask about this question'
Debentures are long-term security (bond) that is not secured by any collateral. It is being issued based on the past record of the issuer i.e the issuer's creditworthiness and also its reputation.
What is subordinated debenture? - This is also an unsecured loan but ranks below the table i.e some loans are above it in the ranking.
The interest or yield on subordinated debts is usually higher because it is more risky than the normal debentures.
Most recent work on the history of leisure In Europe has been based on the central hypothesis of a fundamental discontinuity between preindustrial and industrial societies. According to this view, the modern idea of leisure did not exist In medieval and early modern Europe: the modern distinction between the categories of work and leisure was a product of Industrial capitalism. Preindustrial societies had festivals (together with Informal and Irregular breaks from work), while industrial societies have leisure in the form of weekends and vacations. The emergence of leisure is therefore part of the process of modernization. If this theory is correct, there is what Michel Foucault called a conceptual rupture between the two periods, and so the v
Answer:should be noted that, first paragraph of the passage enlightens us on the difference between preindustrial and industrial society in Europe and how great was it to an extent that “the modern
distinction between the categories of work and leisure” (lines 4-5) cannot be reasonably applied to the former, which implies that there exists a discontinuity between the two periods.
Furthermore, the second paragraph argues that the discontinuity approach can accommodate historical data.
On a final note, the third paragraph admits that, while it is very useful in some aspects, this approach “can pose problems of its own” (line 25) and it then briefly describes these problems. All this points to Choice E as correct.
The word “dichotomy” as it appears in the last paragraph of the passage. One of the key claims there is that the dichotomy “reduces a great variety … to the simple formula” (lines 31-33). Therefore Choice C is correct.
More so, “Simple dichotomy” is also mentioned in line 26. The passage states that this dichotomy “remains of use in so far as it reminds us that the rise of industrial capitalism” (lines 28-29) was not just an economic phenomenon, but also a social and a cultural phenomenon. This points to Choice A as correct.
We should also not forget that, the main purpose of the passage is to discuss the idea of “the central hypothesis of a fundamental discontinuity between preindustrial and industrial societies” (lines 1-3) in terms of the development of the concept of leisure. Large volume of the passage is focused on demonstrating the usefulness of this hypothesis; nonetheless, the second part of the third paragraph mentions some “distortions” (line 31) that may result if the hypothesis is accepted. Therefore Choice B is correct. Choices A, D, and E are incorrect, as only one hypothesis/solution is discussed in the passage. Choice C is incorrect, as the passage does not mention that the “distortions” (line 31) caused by accepting the hypothesis are illusory

When signing a lease for a retail space, it's important to make sure the lease has a _______ clause, which releases the tenant from the lease if sales don't reach an agreed-upon amount. A.tenancy B.bail-out C.co-tenancy D.bankruptcy
Answer:
Option B (bail-out) is the correct approach.
Explanation:
For something like a variable annuity, a clause states that even though the investment on either the annuity happens to fall underneath a specified amount, the insured person will make additional withdrawal effects through loss.It eliminates the owner from those in the contract unless the transactions do not exceed a sum negotiated upon.Some other available choices do not apply to the types of situations in question. So that the argument presented above should be appropriate.
Answer:
The answer is most definitely B.bail-out : )
Explanation:
Especially for retail space, be sure your lease includes a bail-out clause, which lets you out of the lease if your sales don’t reach an agreed-on amount, and a co-tenancy clause so you can break the lease if an anchor store closes or moves. If you have to do a lot of work to get the space ready for occupancy, consider negotiating a construction allowance—generally $10 to $25 per square foot—to help offset the costs.

A 50 year old individual leaves a corporate employer and receives a $50,000 lump sum distribution from the pension plan. He rolls over $30,000 of the funds within 60 days into an IRA and deposits the rest to his checking account. The individual pays:___________
Answer:
The individual pays tax on the $20000 not roll over
Explanation:
A roll over is the withdrawal of cash or other assets from a retirement plan and then using part or all of it within 60 days into another retirement plan. Roll overs are not taxable.
The individual receives $50000 and rolls over $30000 of his funds. The roll over fund is considered as an income but it is not taxable since it was done within 60 days therefore the individual is tax on the money which was not roll over.
Money not roll over = $50000 - $30000 = $20000
Therefore the individual pays tax on the $20000 not roll over

Tamarisk Corp. purchased machinery for $347,400 on May 1, 2020. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, salvage value of $17,400, production of 264,000 units, and working hours of 25,000. During 2021, Tamarisk Corp. uses the machinery for 2,650 hours, and the machinery produces 29,580 units.
From the information given, compute the depreciation charge for 2021 under each of the following methods. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places, eg. 5.25 and final answers to O decimal places, e.g. 45,892.)
(a) Straight-line
(b) Units-of-output
(c) Working hours
(d) Sum-of-the-years'-digits
(e) Declining-balance (use 20% as the annual rate) $
Answer:
Explanation:
Purchase price = 347,400
Useful life = 10 years
Salvage value = 17,400
Production unit = 264,000
Unit produce = 29,580
Working hours = 25,000
Working hours used = 2,650
Workings
Depreciable amount = 347,400 - 17,400 = 330,000
1. Straight line depreciation = 347,400-17,400 /10
= 330,000 / 10 =33,000
2.Units of output = 29,580/264,000*330,000
= 36,975
3. Working hours method
2650/25,000*330,000 = 34,980
4.Sum of the years digit
Sum of the digits = 10(10+1)/2 =55
330,000 *10/55*4/12 +330,000*9/55*8/12 = 56,000
5 Declining balance at 20%
2020 = ( 347,400 *20%) = 69,480
2021 = 347,400 -69,480 * 20% =277,920 *20%
277,920 - 55,584 = 222,336

With depreciation, the estimated amount of money that can be expected from some buyer at the end of asset’s useful life is its
Answer:
Salvage value
Explanation:
Salvage value is the value of an asset after all depreciation expenses has been expensed.
For example, an asset cost $500,000, it has a 2 year useful life. the depreciation percentage is 20% for each of the useful life of the asset, the salvage value =
Cost of the asset - accumulated depreciation
accumulated depreciation = 2 x($500,000 x 0,2) = $200,000
Salvage value = $500,000 - $200,000 = $300,000
$300,000 is the estimated amount of money that can be expected from some buyer at the end of asset’s useful life
In the context of the principles of total quality management (TQM), _____ means collaboration between managers and nonmanagers, across business functions, and between companies, customers, and suppliers .
Answer:
Teamwork
Explanation:
In total quality management (TQM) teamwork refers basically to the same thing as it does in any other circumstance. I.e. working together in order to achieve a higher common goal. Teamwork is essential in every management theory, but TQM has a slightly different approach.
TQM sees teamwork as a means of creating interdependent quality circles. This means that employees and management must learn to work together as a team and must learn to depend on each other's work. It is basically like a goalkeeper that relies on his/her defense to help them avoid the opponent team from making goals.
A financial lease: A) is generally called a capital lease by accountants. B) requires the lessor to maintain the asset. C) is a partially amortized lease. D) is often called a single net lease. E) can generally be cancelled without penalty..
Answer:
Option A seems to be the correct approach.
Explanation:
A financial lease seems to be a contractual contract in which: the lessee requires a property. Consider buying the commodity from the lessor. Mostly during the rental agreement, the lessee seems to be using that income stream.The obligation to pay a sequence of installments or leases and the use of the commodity. Although a finance lease becomes capitalized, the financial statement raises when both capital as well as the responsibilities.The other alternatives in question aren't relevant to something like a particular circumstance. Then the above will have to be a viable substitute.
Answer:
A) is generally called a capital lease by accountants, is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is an alternate way of financing in which the lessor buys an asset on behalf of its customer and the lessee signs a contract to repay the payments in installments.
In this type of lease the finance company has the ownership of the asset during the tenure but all the reward and risk related to the asset are transferred to the lessee. The lessee get the ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
An agent sells his client 10 U.S. government bonds due to mature in 30 years. According to NASAA's Statement of Policy on Unethical or Dishonest Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents. What statements may the agent legally make?
Answer:
The bonds are guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the US government.
Explanation:
According to NASAA's Statement of Policy on Unethical or Dishonest Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents, a broker can say US government bonds are guaranteed on principal and interest payments.
However if inflation sets in and interest rates rises there is no guarantee from the government that interest paid on the bonds will match the higher interest rate.
So legally this statement is correct, even though the investor can lose money as a result of higher interest rate in the future.
At a trustee's sale, a property was sold for $160,800. The fees and court costs amounted to $1,600. The property was encumbered with a first deed of trust in the amount of $156,500 and a second deed of trust in the amount of $2,000. Which of the following is correct?
a. There would be a surplus, which would go to the beneficiary
b. There would be a surplus, which would go to the trustor
c. There would be a surplus, which would go to the trustee
d. The beneficiary of the second trust deed could initiate court action for a deficiency against the trustor
Answer:
Option C, there would be a surplus, which would go to the trustee, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The property sold at a price = $160800
The fees and court cost = $1600
First deed amount = $156500
Second deed amount = $2000
Total costing = 1600 + 156500 + 2000 = $160100
Since the selling amount is greater than the cost amount. Thus, there will be surplus to the trustee. So, Option c is correct.
