Kenseth Corp. has the following beginning-of-the-year present values for its projected benefit obligation and market-related values for its pension plan assets. Projected Plan Benefit Assets Obligation Value 2016 \(2,000,000 \)1,900,000 2017 2,400,000 2,500,000 2018 2,950,000 2,600,000 2019 3,600,000 3,000,000 The average remaining service life per employee in 2016 and 2017 is 10 years and in 2018 and 2019 is 12 years.
