    The pension benefit obligation will be $331500

    Explanation:

    We have given PBO = $265000

    Less pension benefits paid = $40000

    Discount rate = 10% = 0.01

    Service cost = $80000

    Interest cost = $265000*0.01 = $26500

    We have to find the amount of PBO

    So the pension benefit obligation PBO will be = $265000+$80000+$26500-$40000 = $331500

    So the pension benefit obligation will be $331500
