The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was signed into law in March 2010. Did it “bend the health care cost curve downward” as its supporters promised it would?
A. Social Security recipients receive annual adjustments in their benefits (COLAs) based on year-to-year changes in the CPI-W. (Actually, the Social Security annual COLA is tied to the third quarter to third quarter change from year to year, but let’s just use March to March, 2010 to 2018). Calculate the increase over that eight year period.
B. And finally, what about the average worker? For that, calculate the percent increase in compensation—using the index of hourly compensation, business sector of the economy—over the period from first quarter 2010 to first quarter 2018.

2008: 5.0 2008: 145

1) Make a graph with the dates along the horizontal axis and the unemployment rate on the vertical axis. Plot the data from the table on this graph. See if you can identify a peak, trough, recession, and/or expansion in that data.
2) Notice that the unemployment rate falls from Jan. 2010 to Jan 2011. Make an argument why the economy may not actually be recovering by referring to the labor force data from that same time period.

Company sells a machine for $6,800 under a 12-month warranty agreement that requires the company to replace all defective parts and to provide the repair labor at no cost to the customers. With sales being made evenly throughout the year, the company sells 500 machines in 2010 (warranty expense is incurred 25% in 2010, 60% in 2011 and 15% in 2012). As a result of product testing, the company estimates that the warranty cost is $380 per machine ($200 parts and $180 labor).
Required:
Assuming that actual warranty costs are incurred exactly as estimated, prepare the journal entries that would be made under application of the expense warranty accrual method for the following:
i. Warranty costs incurred in 2010.
ii. Warranty costs incurred in 2011.
