Bonny Corp. had no beginning balance in its AOCI—net actuarial (gain) loss on January 1, 2017. The actuarial (gains) losses on PBO arose due to changes in assumptions made by the actuaries regarding salary increases (2017) and mortality estimates (2018).

Required:

Compute Bonny’s PBO at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018.

Compute the fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018.

Compute the funded status of the plan at December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018.

Compute the year-end balance in AOCI—net actuarial loss (gain) for Bonny Corp. for 2017 and 2018.

Compute OCI for the years ended December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018.
