Determine the components of pension expense that the compnay would recognize in 2020

*** there are 6 components i need to calculate pension expense

I thought it was 

Service cost 55,900

Intere in PBO 37,320

Less actual returns on plan assets -11,700

less unexpected loss -8610

amortization of prior service cost

Pension expense =88190 

*** but there is another line for something else???
