Farber Company adopted a defined benefit pension plan on January 1, 2019, at which time it awarded retroactive benefits to its employees. This prior service cost amounted to $200,000, which the company did not fund. Farber planned to amortize this prior service cost in the amount of $10,000 per year. Farber determined its pension expense (which included the prior service cost amortization) to be $75,000 for 2019, of which the company funded $74,000. At the end of 2019, the fair value of the pension plan assets was $74,000 and Farber’s projected benefit obligation was $265,000.

Jay Company has had a defined benefit pension plan for several years. At the beginning of 2019, Jay amended the plan; this amendment provided for increased benefits to employees based on services rendered in prior periods.

When Turner Company adopted its defined benefit pension plan on January 1, 2019, it awarded retroactive benefits to its employees. These retroactive benefits resulted in a prior service cost of $980,000 that created a projected benefit obligation of the same amount on that date (which it did not fund). Turner decided to amortize the prior service cost using the years-of-future-service method. Turner’s actuary and funding agency have provided the following additional information for 2019 and 2020: (1) service cost: 2019, $187,000; 2020, $189,000; (2) plan assets: 1/1/2019, $0; 1/1/2020, $342,000; (3) expected long-term (and actual) rate of return on plan assets: 2020, 9%; (4) discount rate for both 2019 and 2020: 8%; and (5) amortization fraction for prior service cost: 2019, 80/980; 2020, 79/980.
