Kenseth Corp. has the following beginning-of-the-year present values for its projected benefit obligation and market-related values for its pension plan assets.
Projected Benefit Obligation Plan Assets Value
2019 $2,000,000 $1,900,000
2020 2,400,000 2,500,000
2021 2,950,000 2,600,000
2022 3,600,000 3,000,000
The average remaining service life per employee in 2019 and 2020 is 10 years and in 2021 and 2022 is 12 years. The net gain or loss that occurred during each year is as follows: 2019, $280,000 loss; 2020, $90,000 loss; 2021, $11,000 loss; and 2022, $25,000 gain.
Using the corridor approach, compute the amount of net gain or loss amortized and charged to pension expense in each of the four years, setting up an appropriate schedule.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the net gain or loss amortized and charged to pension expense under the corridor approach

Year, Projected Benefit Obligation (a) , Plan Assets, 10%Corridor, Accumulated d OCI (G/L) (a), Minimum Amortization of Loss

2011 $2,000,000 $1,900,000 $200,000 $ 0 $0

2012 $2,400,000 $2,500,000 $250,000 $280,000 $3,000(b)

2013 $2,950,000 $2,600,000 $295,000 $367,000(c) $6,000(d)

2014 $3,600,000 $3,000,000 $360,000 372,000(e) $1,000(f)

Calculation for 10%Corridor

2011 $0

2012 10%*$2,500,000 =$250,000

2013 10%*$2,950,000 =$295,000

2014 10%*$3,600,000 =$360,000

Calculation for Accumulated Depreciation and Minimum Amortization of Loss

a. As at the beginning of the year

b. ($280,000 – $250,000) ÷ 10 years = $3,000

c. $280,000 – $3,000 + $90,000 = $367,000

d. ($367,000 – $295,000) ÷ 12 years = $6,000

e. $367,000 – $6,000 + $11,000 = $372,000

f ($372,000 – $360,000) ÷ 12 years = $1,000

Therefore the net gain or loss amortized and charged to pension expense under the corridor approach are :
