Expert Solution

1

	Beginning PBO	$50,000
Add	Service cost	$10,000
Add	Interest Cost	$20,000
Less	Benefits Paid	$30,000
Add/Less	Gain or Loss From pension asset investment	$25,000	Here its loss that’s Why it Is Added
	Ending PBO	$75,000

2.. The Missing Factors Are interest cost and Benefits Settled because the question itself mention that there is no actuarial changes. So the Equation used in the prior answer will be modified as follows.

	Beginning PBO	$30,000
Add	Service cost	$10,000
Add	Interest Cost	$1,000
Less	Benefits Paid	$3,000
	Ending PBO	$38,000

Interest cost= Ending PBO+ Benefits paid-Service cost-Bigfnning PBO

Interest Cost=$38,000+$3,000-$10,000-$30,000=1,000

Benefits paid= Beginning PBO*settlement Rate

3.

	Beginning PBO	$150,000
Add	Contribution	$30,000
Add	Benefits Paid	$20,000
Add	Actuarial loss	$3,000
	Ending PBO	$163,000

Actuarial loss = beginning PBO*(expected rate-actual rate)

=$15,000(10%-8%)

=$150,000*2%= 3,000
