Crane Company has a stable labor force of 250 employees who are expected to receive benefits under the plan. The total service-years
for all participating employees are 3,750. The beginning balance of Accumulated OCI (G/L) is zero on January 1, 2025. 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.
Year Minimum Amortization of (Gain) Loss
Compute the minimum amount of Accumulated OCI (G/L) amortized as a component of net periodic pension expense for each of the
years 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028. Apply the "corridor" approach in determining the amount to be amortized each year. (Round
answers to O decimal places, e.g. 2,500. Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses
e.g. (15,000).)
