    B) A liability of $6,100.

    Explanation:

    pension liability = projected benefit obligation - fair value of plan assets = $68,100 - $62,100 = $6,100

    Since the projected obligations of the pension plan are higher than the fair value of the plan, the plan shows a deficit that will be assumed by the company. Only the liability must be included in the balance sheet, but both the project obligations and fair value of the plan must be included in the footnotes.
