    Hello Sir,

    Regarding the Layout scenario
    there is a sttelment of of $ 60 and in the quesion it says that the value of the contribution has reduced by $ 50m by this settement and consequently a $10m loss has happened

    I want some clarifcation of the transsaction .
    Is this $ 50m considered to be the payement for the assets and $ 60m is the payment for the liabilities.

    and the $10 is the difference between them.

    Thanks

    Settlement of 60 = amount paid to beneficiaries in return for surrender of benefits – this will DECREASE the pension ASSETS
    Value of contribution of 50= I’m not sure of your context, but I supect this implies reduction in amount I must pay to beneficiaries – this will decrease pension LIABILITIES
    As you say, reduction in assets is greater than reduction in liabilities. Therefore a loss of 10.

    Hope this helps.

    🙂

    Hi,
    Good .
    But I want to know how to differntiate between the pension as an assets and the pention as a credit and are they different from each other.
    i.e how to consider the pension as a debit and the other as a credit.

    Do you mean that the debit is the company which puts in for the pension and the credit is the pension which the company has to pay to benefiary?

    Thanks.

    Dr = assets held by pension plan – because companay has made contrbutions
    Cr = liabilities to beneficiaries

    Please watch my lecture again as this explains the issue more fully
