Accounting

Lacy Construction has a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan. At December 31, 2021, Lacy received the following information:

Projected Benefit Obligation ($ in millions)
Balance, January 1 $ 520
Service cost 76
Prior service cost 28
Interest cost(5%) 26
Benefits paid (77 )
Balance, December 31 $ 573

Plan Assets ($ in millions)
Balance, January 1 $ 390
Actual return on plan assets 43
Contributions, 2021 76
Benefits paid (77 )
Balance, December 31 $ 432

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 10%. There were no AOCI balances related to pensions on January 1, 2021. At the end of 2021, Lacy amended the pension formula creating a prior service cost of $28 million. Assume Lacy Construction prepares its financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and that the actuary's discount rate is the rate on high-quality corporate bonds. Required: 1. Determine Lacys net pension cost for 2021. 2. Prepare the journal entry(s) to record Lacys (a) net pension cost, (b) gains or losses, (c) prior service cost, (d) funding, and (e) payment of retiree benefits for 2021
