Answer:
= $560,000
Explanation:
Given that:
- -Beginning PBO: 500,000
- -Current Service Cost: 50,000
- -Discount Rate: 6% => interest cost = 500,000*6% = 30,000
- -Contributions by Pernell: 40,000
- -Benefits paid to employees 25,000
- -Loss on PBO: 5,000
As we know that service cost; gains and losses; payments to retired employees; prior service cost; interest cost; payments to employees are factors that change the balance of the PBO
So the ending balance of the PBO will be:
Beginning PBO + Current Service Cost + Interest cost Loss on PBO -Benefits paid to employees
$500,000 + $50,000+ $30,000+$5,000-$25,000
= $560,000
