Answer:

The past service cost included n the net pension is $600

Explanation:

Given Data;

Increase in present Service Cost (PSC)-vested employees = $5,000

Increase in present Service Cost (PSC)-non-vested employees= $2,000

Remaining vesting period- non-vested employees =5 years

Remaining working life-vested employees =10 years

Remaining working life-non-vested employees = 20 years

To calculate the past service cost in the net pension expense under U.S GAAP; we use the formula given as;

Past service cost =

\frac{Increase PSC for vested employee}{Remaining working life of vested employees}  +  \frac {Increase PSC for non-vested employee}{remaining working life of non-vested employees}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Past service cost = $5,000/10 + $2,000/20

                            =$500 + $100

                           = $600

The past service cost included n the net pension is $600

Answer:

net pension expense (or revenue) under U.S.GAAP is $600

Explanation:

the past service cost included in the 2013 net pension expense ( or revenue) under U.S. GAAP is calculated below;

past service cost = { ( <u>increase PSC for vested employees</u>)

                             (remaining working life of vested employees)

                                                        +

                              {(<u> increase PSC for non-vested employee)</u>}

                               ( remaining working life of non- vested employees)

past service cost = { $5000/10years) + ( $ 2000/20years)

past service cost = $500 + $100

past service cost =$600

Therefore the past service cost  included in the 2013 net pension expense (or revenue) under U.S.GAAP is $600

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

1. Cash in hand and at bank balance

2. Is there land and buildings available

3. Are there any accumulated debt owed by the church

4. Collections or record of church document.

Explanation:

1. Cash in hand and at bank balance. This an example of a current asset. The first question is how much does the church have as cash and bank balance. The reason is to ascertain whether the fund will be sufficient for the new building project.

2. Land and Buildings availability. This is a fixed asset. The board would enquire whether there is an already existing building or land with which to begin the building project.

3. Debt or loan owed by the church. Loan forms part of liability in a balance sheet. Another question to be asked is whether the church is indebted to a bank or financial institution. This will determine whether or not to continue with the building project.

4. Record of church document. Does the church have any existing document with which to support the new building? This is pertinent as to begin or abandon the plan to build a new church.

Assume that Abby, Ben, Clara, Joe, and Matt are the only citizens in a community. A proposed public good has a total cost of $1,
Viktor [21]

Answer:

(D) Abby, Ben, and Clara

Explanation:

Given that each of the five citizens will share the cost of the public good equally (that is, $200 each), citizens who derive benefits greater than $200 are likely to vote in favor of an equal share of the cost since this option will result in a net benefit of the public good to them.

For instance, net benefit to Abby = $220 benefit - $200 cost = $20 net benefit.

On the other hand, citizens who derive benefits worth less than $200 are less likely to vote in favor of an equal share since an equal share will result in a net loss to them.

For instance, net loss to Matt = $120 benefit - $200 cost = $80 net loss.

Therefore, Abby ($220), Ben ($210) and Clara ($210) are likely to vote in favor of a proposal for an equal share of the cost, since the benefit they derive is greater than the cost in an equal share $200.
