Insurance policy was purchased on July 10 to run for 3 years.
Cost of policy = $72,000
Start date is August 1st. As at 31 December, the policy should have been amortized for 5 months (August to December)
Monthly depreciation = $72,000/(3 × 12)

Answer:
$87 million
Explanation:
The projected benefit obligation (PBO) is a measurement of the present amount of money needed by a company to cover future pension liabilities. PBO uses how long the employee will work and any increased future obligations to the employee's pension.
Given that:
PBO at the beginning of the year = $80 million
Service cost for the year = $10 million
Interest = Discount rate × PBO at beginning of the year = 5% × $80 million = 0.05 × $80 million = $4 million
Actuarial (gain) Loss = Amount paid - Expected money = $5 million - $4 million = $1 million
Benefits paid paid by trustees = $6 million
The total pension expense for the year = PBO at year beginning + Service cost + interest - Actuarial (gain) Loss - benefits = $80 million + $10 million + $4 million - $1 million - $6 million = $87 million
