Prince Distribution Inc. has an unfunded postretirement benefit plan. Medical care and life insurance benefits are provided to employees who render 10 years service and attain age 55 while in service. At the end of 2016, Jim Lukawitz is 31. He was hired by Prince at age 25 (6 years ago) and is expected to retire at age 62. The expected postretirement benefit obligation for Lukawitz at the end of 2016 is $50,000 and$54,000 at the end of 2017. Calculate the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at the end of 2016 and 2017 and the service cost for 2016 and 2017 as pertaining to Lukawitz.

consider n independent trials of an experiment in which each trial has two possible outcomes: “success” or “failure.” The probability of a success on each trial is p, and the probability of a failure is q=1-p. In this context, the term

$$nCkp^kq^n-^k$$

in the expansion of

$$(p + q)^n$$

gives the probability of k successes in the n trials of the experiment. You toss a fair coin seven times. To find the probability of obtaining four heads, evaluate the term

$$7C4(1/2)^4(1/2)^3$$

in the expansion of

$$(1/2 + 1/2)^7$$

The projected benefit obligation was $80 million at the beginning of the year and$85 million at the end of the year. Service cost for the year was $10 million. At the end of the year, there was no prior service cost and a negligible net loss–AOCI. The actuary’s discount rate was 5%. What was the amount of the retiree benefits paid by the trustee?

a. What would happen to the expected value if fewer people ordered chili and more people ordered stew? Explain. b.

a. To which field of psychology does the largest number of psychologists belong? b. How does the work of experimental psychologists benefit psychologists in other fields? c. Why do you think there are so many specialties in psychology?

Andrews Medical reported a net loss–AOCI in last year’s balance sheet. This year, the company revised its estimate of future salary levels causing its PBO estimate to decline by $4 million. Also, the$8 million actual return on plan assets fell short of the $9 million expected return. How does this gain and loss affect Andrews’ income statement, statement of comprehensive income, and balance sheet?
