Oriole Inc. has a stable labor force of 400 employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan. The total service-years for all participating employees is 4,400. The beginning balance of accumulated OCI (G/L) is zero on January 1, 2020. The market-related value and the fair value of plan assets are the same for the 4-year period. Use the average remaining service life per employee as the basis for amortization.

Compute the minimum amount of accumulated OCI (G/L) amortized as a component of net periodic pension expense for each of the years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Apply the “corridor” approach in determining the amount to be amortized each year.

Vaughn Company began operations late in 2019 and adopted the conventional retail inventory method. Because there was no beginning inventory for 2019 and no markdowns during 2019, the ending inventory for 2019 was $13,869 under both the conventional retail method and the LIFO retail method. At the end of 2020, management wants to compare the results of applying the conventional and LIFO retail methods. There was no change in the price level during 2020. The following data are available for computations.

Mertag enters into a forward contract on October 1, 2020, to sell PLN 1,028,000 in four months (on January 31, 2021). U.S. dollar–Polish zloty exchange rates are as follows:

Date Spot Rate Forward Rate

December 31, 2020 0.31 0.35
January 31, 2021 0.33 N/A

Mertag designates the forward contract as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the forward rate, and, therefore, forward points are included in assessing hedge effectiveness. Mertag must close its books and prepare financial statements on December 31. Discounting to present value can be ignored.

  1. Prepare journal entries for the foreign currency forward contract, foreign currency firm commitment, and export sale.
  2. Determine the net benefit, if any, realized by Mertag from entering into the forward contract.
