Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 is $26,250

Explanation:

In order to calculate the calculate the amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021 we would have to use the following formula:

amount of AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=(AOCI net gain 12/31/20-Corridor amount for 2021)/Average remaining service life

AOCI net gain 12/31/20=$1,512,000  

Corridor amount for 2021=$1,092,000=10,920,000*10%

Average remaining service life=16  

Therefore, AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=($1,512,000-$1,092,000)/16

AOCI (net gain) amortized in 2021=$26,250
