Stanley-Morgan Industries adopted a defined benefit pension plan on April 12, 2021. The provisions of the plan were not made
retroactive to prior years. A local bank, engaged as trustee for the plan assets, expects plan assets to earn a 10% rate of return. The
actual return was also 10% in 2021 and 2022.* A consulting firm, engaged as actuary, recommends 6% as the appropriate discount
rate. The service cost is $150,000 for 2021 and $200,000 for 2022. Year-end funding is $160,000 for 2021 and $170,000 for 2022. No
assumptions or estimates were revised during 2021.
