Example:
Prior service cost is $15,000 as determined on January 1, 20x0. There are three employees with the following remaining service periods affected by the amendment:

Employee
Service years remaining
A
9
B
2
C
4
Total
15

The average remaining service period is 5 years: 15/(3 employees).


Straight-line method  -- 
1. Amortization each year is $3,000 ($15,000/5). Pension expense is increased $3,000 for the years 20x0 - 20x2. After that, unless another prior service grant is awarded, pension expense will no longer reflect this component. Only the initial PSC amount is amortized - component 2 (interest cost) automatically includes interest on the growth in PSC because the $15,000 is included in PBO.

can someone explain this para?...it should be 5 yrs but its states just 2000-2002(3 yrs)
