Answer:
c. $45,000 liability
Explanation:
Fair Value of Plan Asset = Return on asset + employer contribution - Benefit paid
= $22,000 + $40,000 - $0
= $62,000
Projected Benefits Obligation = Service cost + interest cost
= $17,000 + $40,000
= $57,000
Pension asset / (liability) = Opening pension asset/ Liability + Plan asset - Projected Benefit Obligation - Amortization
= $2,000 + $62,000 - $57,000 - $52,000
= -$45,000
= $45000 Pension Liability

Hence an oligopoly.
