2.+ return on Plan assets                          $ 130,000

3.+contribution to plan 2017 $   93,329

4.- Pension paid out                                  $   ( 140,000 )

5.Fair value of Plan Assets on 31.12   $ 2,278,329

B.Plan Obligations

                                                                                          =$ (1,020,671)surplus

Difference in Obligations closing-Assets Closing = 1,980,000-2,278,329

Decrease in surplus    at year end 2017 = $ 722342

b. Accumulated net loss on 1/1/17 $   (45680)
