    The correct answer for option (a) is $15 million and for option (b) is - $5 million.

    Explanation:

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

    Projected benefit obligation = $40 million

    Accumulated benefit obligation = $30 million

    Plan assets = $25 million

    (a). We can calculate the pension liability by using following formula:

    Pension liability = Projected benefit obligation - Plan assets

    = $40 million - $25 million

    = $15 million

    (b). If Plan assets = $45 million

    Than, Pension liability = $40 million - $45 million

    = - $5 million
