Pension expense = $ervice cost component + Opening projected benefit obligation*settlement rate - Opening pension assets*Expected rate of return + Amortization of prior service cost  

= $890,000 + ($11,400,000*0.10) - ($6,000,000*0.08) + $180,000

= $890,000 + $1,140,000 - $480,000 + $180,000

= $1,730,000
