$54,500 was the service cost for the year

Solution:

Beginning PBO ($7,000/10%)                  $70,000

Service cost                                               54,500*

Interest cost                                                7,000

Retiree benefits paid                                (14,500)

Ending PBO                                             $117,000

*$117,000+ $14,500–$7,000 -$70,000= $54,500
