Answer:

$205,200

Explanation:

              Calculation of Pension Expense

Service Cost                                         $198,000

Interest cost                                          $33,000

Expected return on the plan assets    ($25,800) (258000*10%)

Pension Expense                                  $205,200

So therefore, the pension expense for the year is $205,200.
