Answer:

$331,500

Explanation:

The computation of the ending balance of the pension benefit obligation is shown below:

= Opening balance of PBO + service cost + interest cost - pension benefits

= $265,000 + $80,000 + $26,500 - $40,000

= $331,500

The computation of the interest cost is shown below:

= Opening balance of PBO × discount rate

= $265,000 × 10%

= $26,500

The increased value of the plan assets would be ignored.

Accumulated Balance is given by :

A=P\dfrac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}\times (1+i)

Here,

n = time period = 30×12 = 360.

i=\dfrac{13.45}{100}\times \dfrac{1}{12}=0.0112

P = principal price = $250.

Putting all given values in above equation, we get :

A=250\times \dfrac{(1+0.0112)^{360}-1}{0.0112}\times (1+0.0112)\\\\A=\$1221659.48

Hence, this is the required solution.
