    I am confused why the answer below is $20,000. I thought it would be 0 because in the year of the amendment, there is no amortization. Amortization doesn't begin until year 2…

    Jan Corp. amended its defined benefit pension plan, granting a total credit of $100,000 to four employees for services rendered prior to the plan's adoption. The employees, A, B, C, and D, are expected to retire from the company as follows:

    “A” will retire after three years.

    “B” and “C” will retire after five years.

    “D” will retire after seven years.

    What is the amount of prior service cost amortization in the first year?

    Answer: $20,000 (100,000 / 5 yr avg)

    AUD- 97 1x
    REG- 81 1x
    BEC- 79 1x
    FAR- 88 1x

    DONE!

    10/1/12 to 2/28/14

    Just guessing:

    Total 20 yrs of service between the employees before retirement

    20 yrs/100K credit = 5K

    5K*4 employees = 20K amort per year

    Ok,I guess my “guess” is wrong, that's why I hate pensions
