    The correct answer is $339,480.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

    We can calculate the PBO at Dec. 31 by using following formula:

    PBO Dec. 31 = PBO on Jan 1,2021 + Service cost + Interest - pension benefits paid

    Where, Interest = 11 % * $268,000 = $29,480

    By putting the value we get

    PBO, Dec. 31 = $268,000 + $85,000 + $29,480 - $43,000

    = $339,480
