Below is OCI gain amortization calculation for the year:
Corridor amortisation | ||
Ref | Particulars | Amount |
A | Opening OCI gain/ loss | $ 470,000.00 |
Less: 10% of higher of plan assets or PBO | ||
Opening balance: | ||
Plan assets | $ 3,100,000.00 | |
PBO | $ 2,800,000.00 | |
B | higher of above | $ 3,100,000.00 |
C | 10% of B | $ 310,000.00 |
D= A-C | Amount subject to amortisation | $ 160,000.00 |
E | Amortisation period | $ 18.00 |
F= D/E | Amortisation amount | $ 8,888.89 |
PSC amortization for year = beginning balance/ service period = $540,000/18 = $30,000
Expected return on plan assets = $3,100,000 X 8% = $248,000
Interest cost = $2,800,000 X 6% = $168,000
