Pension Plan Problem

 
Fred began work on 1/1/2002. On 1/1/2010 the company introduced a pension plan that would pay him an annual retirement benefit equal to
 
1.5% x years of employment x highest salary earned
Fred must work for at least 10 years (until 12/31/2011) before being eligible to receive his pension. He is expected to retire on 12/31/2019 (after 18 years with the company). Company will make his first retirement benefit payment on 12/31/2020. Fred will receive his 10th and final payment on 12/31/2029 and will promptly croak on that date (in actuality it’s a mortality estimate).
 
Fred receives full credit for the 8 years of prior service. His salary ($61,400 at 1/1/2010) will increase 5% each year. A 10% discount rate is used for calculating pension obligations.
On 1/1/2010 the company pays $5,000 into a pension fund (a 6% return is expected and actually received in 2010).
 

Required

 
a. Calculate the vested benefit obligation (VBO), the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and the PBO (projected benefit obligation) on 1/1/2010. Write the relevant journal entry(ies) on 1/1/2010.
