94
In a defined-benefit plan, the process of funding refers to
  • determining the accumulated benefit obligation
  • determining the amount that might be reported for pension expense
  • making the periodic contributions to a funding agency to ensure that funds are
    available to meet retirees' claims
  • determining the projected benefit obligation
95
In all pension plans, the accounting problems include all the following except
  • measuring the amount of pension obligation
  • disclosing the status and effects of the plan in the financial statements
  • determining the level of individual premiums
  • allocating the cost of the plan to the proper periods
96
In a defined-contribution plan, a formula is used that
  • defines the benefits that the employee will receive at the time of retirement
  • ensures that pension expense and the cash funding amount will be different
  • ensures that employers are at risk to make sure funds are available at retirement
  • requires an employer to contribute a certain sum each period based on the formula
97
In a defined-benefit plan, a formula is used that
  • defines the benefits that the employee will receive at the time of retirement
  • defines the contribution the employer is to make; no promise is made concerning the ultimate benefits to be paid out to the employees
  • requires that the benefit of gain or the risk of loss from the assets contributed to the
    pension plan be borne by the employee
  • requires that pension expense and the cash funding amount be the same
98
Which of the following is not a characteristic of a defined-contribution pension plan?
  • The employer's contribution each period is based on a formula
  • The benefit of gain or the risk of loss from the assets contributed to the pension fund is borne by the employee
  • The benefits to be received by employees are determined by an employee’s highest
    compensation level defined by the terms of the plan
  • The accounting for a defined-contribution plan is straightforward and uncomplicated
99
Alternative methods exist for the measurement of the pension obligation (liability).
Which measure requires the use of future salaries in its computation?
  • Restructured benefit obligation
  • Projected benefit obligation
  • Accumulated benefit obligation
  • Vested benefit obligation
100
The accumulated benefit obligation measures
  • the pension obligation on the basis of the plan formula applied to years of service to
    date and based on existing salary levels
  • the level cost that will be sufficient, together with interest to provide the total benefits at retirement
  • the shortest possible period for funding to maximize the tax deduction
  • the pension obligation on the basis of the plan formula applied to years of service to
    date and based on future salary levels
101
The projected benefit obligation is the measure of pension obligation that
  • is required to be used for reporting the service cost component of pension expense
  • is not sanctioned under generally accepted accounting principles for reporting the
    service cost component of pension expense
  • requires the longest possible period for funding to maximize the tax deduction
  • requires pension expense to be determined solely on the basis of the plan formula
    applied to years of service to date and based on existing salary levels
102
Differing measures of the pension obligation can be based on
  • all years of service—both vested and nonvested—using current salary levels
  • both vested and nonvested service using future salaries
  • All of these answers are correct
  • only the vested benefits using current salary levels
103
Vested benefits
  • are defined by all of these answers
  • are not contingent upon additional service under the plan
  • usually require a certain minimum number of years of service
  • are those that the employee is entitled to receive even if fired
104
The relationship between the amount funded and the amount reported for pension
expense is as follows:
  • pension expense will be more than the amount funded
  • pension expense may be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount funded
  • pension expense will be less than the amount funded
  • pension expense must equal the amount funded
105
The computation of pension expense includes all the following except
  • interest on projected benefit obligation
  • expected return on plan assets
  • service cost component measured using future salary levels
  • amortization of prior service cost
106
In computing the service cost component of pension expense, the FASB concluded that
  • a company should employ an actuarial funding method to report pension expense that
    best reflects the cost of benefits to employees
  • the accumulated benefit obligation provides a more realistic measure of the pension
    obligation on a going concern basis
  • the projected benefit obligation using future compensation levels provides a realistic measure of present pension obligation and expense
  • the projected benefit obligation using current compensation levels provides a realistic measure of present pension obligation and expansion
107
The interest on the projected benefit obligation component of pension expense
  • reflects the rates at which pension benefits could be effectively settled
  • is the same as the expected return on plan assets
  • reflects the incremental borrowing rate of the employer
  • may be stated implicitly or explicitly when reported
108
One component of pension expense is actual return on plan assets. Plan assets include
  • plan assets still under the control of the company
  • assets that a company holds to earn a reasonable return, generally at minimum risk
  • only assets reported on the balance sheet of the employer as prepaid pension cost
  • None of these answers are correct
109
The actual return on plan assets
  • is equal to the expected rate of return times the fair value of the plan assets at the beginning of the period
  • includes interest, dividends, and changes in the fair value of the fund assets
  • is equal to the change in the fair value of the plan assets during the year
  • is equal to interest expenses accrued each year on the projected benefit obligation, just as it does on any discounted debt
110
In accounting for a pension plan, any difference between the pension cost charged to
expense and the payments into the fund should be reported as
  • as other comprehensive income (G/L)
  • as accumulated other comprehensive income (PSC)
  • an offset to the liability for prior service cost
  • pension asset/liability
111
Which of the following items should be included in pension expense calculated by an
employer who sponsors a defined-benefit pension plan for its employees?
  • Fair Value of Plant assets: Yes, Amortization of prior service cost: Yes
  • Fair Value of Plant assets: No, Amortization of prior service cost: Yes
  • Fair Value of Plant assets: No, Amortization of prior service cost: No

112
A corporation has a defined-benefit plan. A pension liability will result at the end of the year if the
  • projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of the plan assets
  • fair value of the plan assets exceeds the projected benefit obligation
  • amount of employer contributions exceeds the pension expense
  • amount of pension expense exceeds the amount of employer contributions
113
When a company adopts a pension plan, prior service costs should be charged to
  • operations of prior periods
  • accumulated other comprehensive income (PSC)
  • Other comprehensive income (PSC)
  • retained earnings
114
When a company amends a pension plan, for accounting purposes, prior service costs should be
  • reported as an expense in the period the plan is amended
  • treated as a prior period adjustment because no future periods are benefited
  • amortized in accordance with procedures used for income tax purposes
  • recorded in other comprehensive income (PSC)
115
Prior service cost is amortized on a
  • straight-line basis over the expected future years of service
  • years-of-service method or on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service
    life of active employees
  • straight-line basis over 15 years
  • straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of active employees or 15
    years, whichever is longer
116
Whenever a defined-benefit plan is amended and credit is given to employees for years of service provided before the date of amendment
  • both the accumulated benefit obligation and the projected benefit obligation are
    usually greater than before
  • both the accumulated benefit obligation and the projected benefit obligation are
    usually less than before
  • the expense and the liability should be recognized at the time of the plan change
  • the expense should be recognized immediately, but the liability may be deferred until a reasonable basis for its determination has been identified
117
The actuarial gains or losses that result from changes in the projected benefit obligation are called
  • Asset Gains & Losses: Yes, Liability Gains & Losses: Yes
  • Asset Gains & Losses: No, Liability Gains & Losses: Yes
  • Asset Gains & Losses: No, Liability Gains & Losses: No
  • Asset Gains & Losses: Yes, Liability Gains & Losses: No
118
Gains and losses that relate to the computation of pension expense should be
  • recorded only if a loss is determined
  • recorded currently as an adjustment to pension expense in the period incurred
  • recorded currently and in the future by applying the corridor method which provides
    the amount to be amortized
  • amortized over a 15-year period
119
The fair value of pension plan assets is used to determine the corridor and to calculate the expected return on plan assets
  • Corridor: Yes, Expected Return on Plan Assets: Yes
  • Corridor: No, Expected Return on Plan Assets: No
  • Corridor: Yes, Expected Return on Plan Assets: No
  • Corridor: No, Expected Return on Plan Assets: Yes
120
A pension fund gain or loss that is caused by a plant closing should be
  • spread over the current year and future years
  • charged or credited to the current pension expense
  • recognized as a prior period adjustment
  • recognized immediately as a gain or loss on the plant closing
121
A pension liability is reported when

  • accumulated other comprehensive income exceeds the fair value of pension plan
    assets
  • the pension expense reported for the period is greater than the funding amount for the same period
  • the accumulated benefit obligation is less than the fair value of pension plan assets
122
A pension asset is reported when
  • the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of pension plan assets, but a
    prior service cost exists
  • the accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of pension plan assets
  • pension plan assets at fair value exceed the accumulated benefit obligation
  • pension plan assets at fair value exceed the projected benefit obligation
123
Which of the following is true of pension termination?
  • Companies can terminate a pension plan whenever they wish to do so
  • Terminating a pension plan is illegal in U.S
  • A company must start a new defined benefit plan after it eliminates the old one
  • FASB requires recognition in earnings of a gain or loss when a pension obligation is
    terminated
124
According to the FASB, recognition of a liability is required when the projected benefit obligation exceeds the fair value of plan assets. Conversely, when the fair value of plan assets exceeds the projected benefit obligation, the Board
  • requires recognition of an asset if the excess fair value of plan assets exceeds the
    corridor amount
  • does not permit recognition of an asset
  • requires recognition of an asset
  • recommends recognition of an asset but does not require such recognition
125
Which of the following disclosures of pension plan information would not normally be required?

While only certain leases are currently accounted for as a sale or purchase, there is
theoretical justification for considering all leases to be sales or purchases. The principal reason that supports this idea is that
  • all leases are generally for the economic life of the property and the residual value of
    the property at the end of the lease is minimal
  • a lease reflects the purchase or sale of a quantifiable right to the use of property
  • during the life of the lease the lessee can effectively treat the property as if it were
    owned
  • at the end of the lease the property usually can be purchased by the lessee
140

  • operating and finance leases
  • None of these answers are correct

  • The lease transfers ownership of the property to the lessor
  • The lease contains a purchase option
142
Lease payments include:
I. fixed payments
II. variable payments based on an index
III a bargain purchase option
IV. a guaranteed residual value
  • I, II, and III
  • I, II, III, and IV
  • II, III, and IV
  • I, II, and IV
143
In computing the present value of the lease payments, the lessee should
  • use both its incremental borrowing rate and the implicit rate of the lessor, assuming
  • use the implicit rate in all cases
  • use its incremental borrowing rate in all cases
  • use the implicit rate of the lessor, assuming that the implicit rate is known to the
    lessee
144
Which of the following describes the lease term test?
  • If the lease term is 90% or more of the economic life, it is a finance lease
  • If the lease term is 75% or more of the economic life, it is a finance lease
  • If the asset has an alternative use during the lease term, it is a finance lease
  • If there is a bargain purchase option during the lease term, it is a finance lease
145
The lease receivable amount includes the present value of
  • rental payments plus the present value of guaranteed and unguaranteed residual
    values

  • rental payments only
  • rental payments plus the present value of the unguaranteed residual value only
146
In an operating lease, the lessee records

  • interest expense
  • lease expense
  • amortization expense
147
In a finance lease, the lessee records
  • amortization expense only
  • lease expense only
  • interest expense only

148
For a sales-type lease,
  • assets are depreciated by the lessor
  • the sales price includes the present value of the unguaranteed residual value
  • the gross profit will be the same whether the residual value is guaranteed or
    unguaranteed
  • the present value of the guaranteed residual value is deducted to determine the cost of goods sold
149
The right-of-use asset is increased by
  • lease prepayments made by the lessee and initial direct costs incurred by the lessee
  • lease incentives received
  • initial direct costs incurred by the lessee only
  • prepaid lease payments only
150
If the lease in a sale-leaseback transaction meets one of the five lease tests and is
