Hi
CFAI Reading 24 Page 207
"Under US GAAP past service costs are reported in other comprehensive income.....In subsequent periods, these costs are amortized over the average service lives of the affected employees and reported as a component of pension expense."
Trying to figure what the corresponding accounting entries would be:
1. past service costs are reported in other comprehensive income : Pension liability increases and equity (accumulated OCI) decreases by the same amount. is this correct??
2. In subsequent periods, these costs are amortized and reported as a component of pension expense : if (1) above is correct, what will be the corresponding accounting entry for this step?
Thanks!
