I am trying to figure out this problem. I have two like this for homework this week and I can't get this one figured out.

Ficus Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. The following data relate to the operation of the plan for the

years 2020 and 2021:

(a)Prepare a pension worksheet presenting both years 2020 and 2021 and accompanying computations

and amortization

of the loss (2021) using the corridor approach.

(b)Prepare the journal entries (from the worksheet) to reflect all pension plan transactions and

events at December 31 of each year.

(c)For 2021, indicate the pension amounts reported in the financial statements.
