Explanation / Answer

Service cost = $62

Interest cost = $49

Expected return on asset(from plan asset coloumn) = $68 = $(68) in pension expenses column.

Amortization of prior service cost = from prior service cost = $7

Amortization of net gain(from net gain coloumn) $3 = $3 in pension expenses column

Pension expenses = 62+49 - 68 +7 - 3 = $47
