    Sir am struggling to understand how can a gain/loss arise on settlement? My study text states it is the difference between plan assets paid out and reduction in present value of defined benefit obligation. but i feel won’t the two be same?

    like won’t my pension fund transfer as much plan assets as are the plan obligation relating to the employee?

    Obligation is 100 – but it’s a theoretical number that few understand, certainly not most of the staff

    Amount paid to settle 60 – down to negotiation – employees in a weak position

    Gain 40 – I guess that’s capitalism.

    But all you have to do is post the double entry. 🙂

    so the journal entry of this would be,

    Dr. Net Pension obligation 100
    Cr. SPL gain 40
    Cr. cash 60
