    OTC's pension expense for the year is $35 million

    Explanation:

    Pension expense for the year = Service cost + Interest cost - Expected return on assets + Amortization of: prior service + Amortization net loss

    Service cost = 86

    Interest cost = (-667 + 580 + 86 + 33 - 59) = (27)

    Expected return on assets = (31)

    Amortization of Prior service = 14

    Amortization of net loss = (102 - 82 + 6 - 33) = (7)

    Pension expense = (86 - 27 - 31 + 14 - 7)

    = 35 ($ in millions)
