The computation of the ending balance of the pension benefit obligation is shown below:
= Opening balance of PBO + service cost + interest cost - pension benefits

The cost of online banking is $39.99
The cost of checks books is $17.95 per 100. The cost associated with 25 checks

The cost of a stamp is 50 cents, which is $0.50
for 25 checks
=$0.50 x 25
=$12.5
The writing fee
=$0.05 x 25
=$1.25
Total cost of using checks
= $4.3125 + $12.5 +$1.25
=$18.0625
the difference between online banking and checks
= $39.99 - $18.0625
=$21.9275
