Hi, Please I need this done by this Friday. Thank you!

image text in transcribed Intermediate Financial Accounting III - 4113 Analytics and Critical Thinking Project PantherTec offers a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. The company's pension formula pays 2% per year of service time of the employee's final year's salary, with a maximum benefit of 75% of final salary. To illustrate, an employee earning $200,000 and retiring after 20 years would receive an $80,000 annual benefit (2% x 20 years x $200,000). Accompanying this project is an Excel spreadsheet with two tabs. The first, \"Employee Information,\" lists the 200 employees of PantherTec, along with information which may or may not be needed to compute pension obligations. The second tab, \"Pension Plan Asset Performance,\" outlines how PantherTec's plan assets have performed over the last several periods, as well as expected returns on plan assets over that period. There are no prior service costs or other accumulated losses on the projected benefit obligation. Required: Write a project summary addressing each of the following requirements, citing accompanying tables and figures as necessary. Your final deliverable should include a typed report with responses to each of the following points as well as an Excel file with supporting analysis. Responses should be succinct, but complete. Analyses: 1. Compute the projected benefit obligation (PBO) as of 12/31/2014 using the \"Employee Information\" tab assuming the company's actuary recommends a 6% discount rate. For simplicity, assume that all retirements occur on December 31 of the retirement year, and partial years worked provide no benefit. In other words, if a 40 year-old employee begins working on 7/1/2014 and is expected to retire at 65, then assume that his retirement date is 12/31/2039 and that he will accrue 25 years of service (2015 through 2039). Computations should be performed in Excel. 2. Compute Pension Expense for 2014, separately identifying each component. Assume that no actuarial assumptions changed between 2013 and 2014 (i.e., same projected ending salaries, benefit periods, etc.). 3. Describe the funding status for the plan. Is the plan over- or under-funded? Critical Thinking: 4. Compare differences between current and projected salaries as well as the PBO for male vs. female employees. Comment on possible reasons for those differences. It may be useful to use a Pivot Table for your analysis. 5. Assume PantherTec is considering investing in an employee health and wellbeing program. This program will involve an onsite fitness center and complementary dietary and fitness consulting services. Discuss how this program could affect pension costs. Keeping in mind that managers of companies have both social responsibilities to employees and fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders, what considerations should the manager take into account when making this decision? 6. Comment on the trend in plan asset returns. Have managers been accurate in their expected rates of return? When pension plan assets consistently deviate from expected returns, managers may either adjust the riskiness of the plan's investment portfolio, or adjust the expected rate of return. Discuss the ethical dilemma managers face when confronted with those two choices.
