Explanation:
Pension Expense = Service Cost - Expected return on plan assets + Prior service cost amortization + Interest cost 
Interest Cost
= Interest rate * Projected benefit obligation
= 0.09 * 728,000
= $65,520
Pension Expense = 110,000 - 30,000 + 10,000 + 65,520
= $155,520
 
        
             
        
        
        
<u>Calculation of Days Payable Outstanding:</u>
Days Payable Outstanding can be calculated using the following formula:
Days Payable Outstanding = (Accounts 
Payable *365) / Cost of Goods Sold 
= (8,773*365)/45,821
= 69.88
Hence, Days Payable Outstanding is 69.88 days. We can say that it takes on average<u> 69.88 </u>days to the company to pay off its suppliers during the year.
