    Dear Sir,

    When comparing the expected values of the pension asset and the actuarial values if the actuarial values are lower we take the difference as a negative but with the liability it is taken as a positive in the same case,can you explain the logic

    Asset
    Expected Value = 1200
    Actuarial value = 1000
    Difference =(200)

    Liability
    Expected value = 1500
    Actuarial value = 1300
    Difference = 300

    Remeasurement component = 300 – 200 = 100

    DR liability 100
    CR OCI 100

    Thank you

    Asset – you are 200 worse off than you thought you were so that’s a loss

    Liability – you are 200 better off than you thought you were so that’s a profit

    Using your numbers it looks like the profit and loss net each other out

    I’m not sure how you got a difference of 300 on the liability because 1500-1300 is 200
