    Explanation:

    Gillock Climbing Academy Pension Expense for the year 2019 will be recorded as

    Service cost ... 600,000.00

    Interest (600000 * 10%) ... 60,000.00

    plan assets (40000 from 2018 + 32000 interest + 400000 made in current year) ... 832000

    Expected return Interest on plan asset (832000*8%) ... 66,560.00

    Pension Expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 = 600000 - (66,560.00 - 60000)

    = 600,000-6,560

    = $593,440.00
