    The amount of those contributions were $38.5 millions

    Explanation:

    According to the given data we have the following:

    Plan assets (fair value), December 31=$800

    Benefit payments to retirees, December 31=$71

    Plan assets (fair value), January 1=$750

    Actual return on Plan assets = $750*11% = $82.50

    In order to calculate the cash contributions, we have to make the following calculation:

    cash contributions=$800+$71 - $750-$82.50

    cash contributions=$38.5 millions

    The amount of those contributions were $38.5 millions
