Buffalo Inc. has a stable labor force of 400 employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan. The total service-years for all participating employees is 4,400. The beginning balance of accumulated OCI (G/L) is zero on January 1, 2020. The market-related value and the fair value of plan assets are the same for the 4-year period. Use the average remaining service life per employee as the basis for amortization.


Compute the minimum amount of accumulated OCI (G/L) amortized as a component of net periodic pension expense for each of the years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Apply the “corridor” approach in determining the amount to be amortized each year.
