The actuary for the pension plan of Ivanhoe Inc. calculated the following net gains and losses.

Other information about the company’s pension obligation and plan assets is as follows.

Ivanhoe 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. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,500.)

On March 10, 2020, Pharoah Company sold to Barr Hardware 160 tool sets at a price of $50 each (cost $30 per set) with terms of n/60, f.o.b. shipping point. Pharoah allows Barr to return any unused tool sets within 60 days of purchase. Pharoah estimates that (1) 10 sets will be returned, (2) the cost of recovering the products will be immaterial, and (3) the returned tools sets can be resold at a profit. On March 25, 2020, Barr returned 7 tool sets and received a credit to its account. Assume that instead of selling the tool sets on credit, that Pharoah sold them for cash.

(a)

Partially correct answer iconYour answer is partially correct.

Prepare journal entries for Pharoah to record (1) the sale on March 10, 2020, (2) the return on March 25, 2020, and (3) any adjusting entries required on March 31, 2020 (when Pharoah prepares financial statements). Pharoah believes the original estimate of returns is correct. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

The actuary for the pension plan of Flint Inc. calculated the following net gains and losses.

Other information about the company’s pension obligation and plan assets is as follows.

Flint 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. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,500.)

Required:
Part A
1. Calculate the total dividends paid in each year to the preferred and to the common shareholders.

2. Calculate the dividends paid per share to both the preferred and the common shares in 2020. (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Part B
1. Calculate the total dividends paid in each year to the preferred shares and to the common shareholders assuming preferred shares are cumulative.

2. Calculate the dividends paid per share to both the preferred and the common shares in 2020 assuming preferred shares are cumulative. (Round the final answers to 2 decimal places.)

At the end of the financial year 2019, Strong Tool Company anticipated its revenues, expenses, capital expenditures and changes in working capital over the next 3 years (2020-2022) to be as shown in the table below.

The company estimated the depreciation charges to be fixed at $15,000 every year. The firm has a tax rate of 28% and a cost of capital of 15%.

Requirement 1: You are required to estimate the free cashflow available to the firm (FCFF) for the period of 2020-2022. Calculate each of the missing values in the table below (there are 20 missing values in total).

Requirement 2 Free cash flows beyond year 3 are estimated to grow at an annual rate of 5%. Apply the growing perpetuity formula to estimate the terminal value of Strong Tool Company as of year 3. What is the value of the terminal value today?

Requirement 3 Strong Tool Company's current value of existing debt is ​$80,000. Estimate the value of the equity of the company by applying the free cash flow to the firm method.

2. working with databases and files in python

a) Write a function with prototype “def profound():” that will prompt the user to type something profound. It will then record the date and time using the “datetime” module and then append the date, time and profound line to a file called “profound.txt”. Do only one line per function call. Use a single write and f-string such that the file contents look like:

2020-10-27 11:20:22 -- Has eighteen letters does

2020-10-27 11:20:36 -- something profound

b) Write a function with prototype “def bestwords():” that will prompt the user to enter a line with some of the best words (separated by spaces). These will be converted to lower case and stored in a data base file (using the dbm and pickle modules) whose keys are a tuple of the current year, month and day (using the datetime module) and the “values” are a set of words collected on that day. Each new word should be checked against all previously-entered words (even those on other days) and it is not added if it already exists in the database. (Hint: I simply subtracted all previous sets of words from the current set, then added that new set to the one for the current day (if it already existed).

c) Write a function with prototype “def printbestwords():” that will simply open the database of best words and print the keys and values, sorted by the keys. Don’t forget to close the database on exit. Example output:

(2020, 10, 26) {'infantroopen', 'susbesdig'}

(2020, 10, 27) {'deligitimatize'}

(2020, 10, 28) {'transpants', 'resaption'}
