postretirement health care benefit plan. On January 1 of the current calendar year, the following plan-related data were available. Net loss-postretirement benefit plan $ 222,000 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ 2,100,000 Fair value of plan assets $ 440,000 Average remaining service period to retirement 12 years Average remaining service period to full eligibility 10 years The rate of return on plan assets during the year was 12%. The expected return was 10%. The actuary revised assumptions regarding the APBO at the end of the year, resulting in a $32,000 increase in the estimate of the obligation. Required: 1. Calculate any amortization of net loss that should be included as a component of postretirement benefit expense for the current year. 2. Determine the net loss or gain as of December 31 of the current year.

Answer:

1. Amortization of net loss = $1000

2. Ending Net Loss:  $244,200

Explanation:

Data Given:

Net Loss Post Retirement Benefit Plan = $222,000

Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000

Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000

Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years

Average Remaining Service period to full eligibility = 10 years

Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%

Expected Return = 10%

Estimate in the obligation = $32,000

Required:

1. Amortization of net loss

Solution:

For Amortization of net loss, we need to have the value of excess at the beginning of the year and average remaining service years.

So,

Net loss = $222,000

And

Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000

Expected Return = 10%

So,

Find 10% of the Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation  

$2,100,000 x 10%  = $210,000

Now, for excess at the beginning of the year:

$222,000 - $210,000

excess at the beginning of the year = $12,000

And we know that,

Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years

Amortization of net loss =  $12,000/12 years

Amortization of net loss = $1000

2. Net loss or gain at the end of the year.

Solution:

We know the beginning net loss = $222,000

Estimate in the obligation = $32,000

Now, we need to find the excess actual return over expected return:

Amortization of net loss = $1000

Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000

Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%

Expected Return = 10%

excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (12%  - 10%)

excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (2%)

excess actual return over expected return: $8,800

Now,

For the Ending Net Loss:

(beginning net loss + Estimate in the obligation - excess actual return over expected return - Amortization of net loss)

$222,000 + $32,000 -$8,800 - $1000 = $244,200

Ending Net Loss:  $244,200

Manufacturing activities consist of materials, production, and sales activities. The materials activity consists of the purchase and issuance of materials to production. The production activity consists of converting materials into finished goods. At this stage in the process, the materials, labor, and overhead costs have been incurred and the schedule of cost of goods manufactured is prepared. The sales activity consists of selling some or all of finished goods available for sale. At this stage, the cost of goods sold is determined.

From the list below, select the items that are classified as a materials activity.

a. Raw materials used
b. Raw materials beginning inventory
c. Raw materials purchases
d. Work in process beginning inventory
e. Goods manufactured
f. Direct labor used
