Hi,
” After conculting with the actuaries, the company decide to reduce its contributions for the year to $45 million.”
Why this statement would result to an increase of current liability by $45 million ? I thought contribution received only causes an increases in plan assets.

Liability on defined benefit plan =
opening net assets/deficit
+ finance cost
+ Current year service cost
+ past service cost
– Contribution paid to scheme.
Therefore, if you reduce the contribution paid, your liability will increase.
