问题如下:
ABC LA,a furnishings shopping company, offers its employees a defined benefit pension plan. The information on the following table:
Assuming there is no amortization of past service costs or actuarial losses and ignore the actuarial loss, please calculate the periodic pension cost that would be reported in I/S under US GAAP is:
选项:
A.
360.65
B.
664
C.
499
解释:
A is correct.
考点:美国准则下的I/S的计算
解析:
【提示】periodic pension cost也叫total periodic pension cost,包括两个部分,一部分在I/S上的,另一部分在OCI里。一般来说题目如果只说periodic pension cost,没有特指是I/S里的部分还是OCI里的部分,那么说的就是全部的periodic pension cost,既包含在I/S里的,也包含在OCI里的。题目通常也会明确要求是要计算哪一部分periodic pension cost,本题让计算periodic pension cost中确认在损益表的部分。第一步,根据题目信息是用US GAAP,而且题目说中忽略actuarial loss且没有past service摊销,那么在美国准则下,计入I/S的只有三项:
current service cost, interest expense on beginning pension obligation, expected return on plan assets
第二步选择折现率,US GAAP下的 E(R)就是expected return of asset,在国际准则下,E(R)是discount rate。
所以美国准则下确认在I/S中的periodic pension cost=current service cost+ interest expense -expected return= 320+(45000+150)*7.5%-40,800* 8.2%=360.65。
interest costs计算,为何为期初obligation加上past pension costs?
