Determine the components of pension expense that the compnay would recognize in 2020
*** there are 6 components i need to calculate pension expense
I thought it was
Service cost 55,900
Intere in PBO 37,320
Less actual returns on plan assets -11,700
less unexpected loss -8610
amortization of prior service cost
Pension expense =88190
*** but there is another line for something else???
