Problem 20-3 (Part Level Submission)

Kingbird Company sponsors a defined benefit plan for its 100 employees. On January 1, 2017, the companys actuary provided the following information.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss (PSC) $149,300

Pension plan assets (fair value and market-related asset value) 197,200

Accumulated benefit obligation 255,900

Projected benefit obligation 387,500

The average remaining service period for the participating employees is 10 years. All employees are expected to receive benefits under the plan. On December 31, 2017, the actuary calculated that the present value of future benefits earned for employee services rendered in the current year amounted to $51,000; the projected benefit obligation was $487,000; fair value of pension assets was $279,200; the accumulated benefit obligation amounted to $360,700. The expected return on plan assets and the discount rate on the projected benefit obligation were both 10%. The actual return on plan assets is $11,400. The companys current years contribution to the pension plan amounted to $70,600. No benefits were paid during the year.
