period in which the employees render the related services
a. Salaries, wages and social security contributions
b. Short term compensated absences such as paid annual leave and sick leave
i. Accumulating compensated absences – carried forward and can be used in future
periods if the current period’s entitlement is not used in full
1. Vesting – employees are entitled
2. Nonvesting – employees are not entitled
ii. Nonaccumulating compensated absences – do not carry forward
c. Profit sharing and bonuses payable within twelve months – only if there is a constructive
obligation
d. Nonmonetary benefits such as medical care, housing, car and free or subsidized goods

• Funded or unfunded
• Postemployment benefit plans under the law
1. Social security system – defined contribution
2. R.A 7641 – defined benefit

IV. ACOUNTING FOR DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN – entity pays fixed contributions into a
separate entity known as the fund and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further
contributions

1. The contribution shall be recognized as expense in the period it is payable


2. The unpaid contribution at the end of the period shall be recognized as accrued
expense
3. Any excess contribution shall be recognized as prepaid expense

V. ACCOUNTING FOR DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN – an entity’s obligation is to provide the agreed
benefits to employees

1. BENEFITS EXPENSES =+Current service cost – increase in the present value of the
defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current period
+ Interest cost – increase in the PV of the DBO which arise because the benefits
are one period closer to settlement (PBO, beg. x interest rate)
- expected return on assets – reflect the changes in the FV of plan assets held

during the paid out of the fund (FVPA, beg x rate of return)

policies
b. The assets are held by an entity that is legally separate from the reporting entity
c. The assets are available to pay only employee benefits
d. The assets are not available to the reporting entity’s own creditors even in bankruptcy
e. The assets cannot be returned to the reporting entity or can only be retuned if the
remaining assets are sufficient enough to meet all employee benefits
FV of plan assets – beginning xx
Add: contribution to the fund xx
Actuarial gain xx
Actual return xx
Total xx
Less: benefits paid xx
Actuarial loss xx
FV of plan assets – ending xx

3. ACCUMULATED BENEFIT OBLIGATION – the amount is based on current


compensation level of employees and therefore includes no assumptions about future salary
increase

4. PROJECTED BENEFIT OBLIGATION – the amount includes future salary increase that
the entity projects it will pay to employees during the remainder of their employment
- PV of expected future payments required to settle the obligation
arising from employee service in the current and future periods
PBO – beginning xx
Add: Current service cost xx
Past Service cost xx
Actuarial loss xx

Less: Benefits paid xx

5. UNDERFUNDING / OVERFUNDING
• Prepaid benefit cost – FVPA > PBO ; overfunded ; noncurrent asset
• Accrued benefit cost – FVPA < PBO ; underfunded ; noncurrent liability

6. PAST SERVICE COST


• Vested – expense immediately
• Not vested – amortized on a straight line basis over the period until it becomes vested

7. ACTUARIAL GAINS / LOSSES


• If
the actual return > expected return = actuarial gain
• If
the actual return < expected return = actuarial loss
• If
the actual benefit obligation > expected obligation = actuarial loss
• If
the actual benefit obligation < expected obligation = actuarial gain
a. Full recognition approach
b. Corridor approach – recognized a portion of actuarial gains and losses as income
or expense if the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains and losses at the
beginning of the current period exceed 10% of the greater between the PBO and FVPA
(amortized over the remaining service period
• Amortization of Actuarial gain – deducted in computation of total benefits expenses
• Amortization of Actuarial loss – added in computation of total benefits expenses

PRACTICAL ACCOUNTING 1 / THEORY OF ACCOUNTS

VIII. PRACTICE PROBLEMS:


1. Silay Company has established a defined pension plan for its employees. Annual
payments under the pension plan are equal to 3% of an employee’s highest lifetime salary
multiplied by the number of years with the entity. An employee’s salary in 2010 was
P500,000. The employee is expected to retire in 10 years, and the salary increases are
expected to average 4% per year during that period. As of December 31, 2010, the
employee has worked for 15 years. The future value of 1 at 4% for 10 periods is 1.48.

What is the annual pension payment that should be used in computing the projected benefit
obligation on December 31, 2010? ________________________

2. Woodstock Company was established a defined benefit pension plan for its lone
employee. Annual payments under the pension plan are equal to the employee’s highest
lifetime salary multiplied by 2% multiplied by number of year with the entity. As of the
beginning of 2011, the employee had worked for Woodstock Company for 10 years. The
salary in 2010 was P500,000. The employee is expected to retire in 25 years and the salary
increases are expected to average 3% per year during that period. The employee is expected
to live for 15 years after retirement. The discount rate is 8%. The relevant present value and
future value factors are:
PV of an ordinary annuity of 1 at 8% for 15 periods 8.559
PV of 1 at 8% for 25 periods 0.146
Future value of 1 at 3% for 25 periods 2.094

What is the projected benefit obligation on January 1, 2011? _________________

3. A director of Easy Company shall receive a retirement benefit of 10% of the final salary
per annum for a contractual period of three years. The director does not contribute to the
scheme. The anticipated salary over the three years is P1,000,000 for 2010, P1,200,000 for
20111 and P1,440,000 for 2012. The discount rate is 5%

Using the projected unit credit method, what is the estimated pension liability on December
31, 2011? _________________

pension information:

Fair value of plan assets 50,000,000


Projected benefit obligation 45,000,000
Cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains 8,000,000

On December 31, 2010, the fair value of the plan assets has risen by P5,000,000 and the
projected benefit obligation has risen by P3,000,000. The actuarial gain is P4,000,000 during
the current year and the average remaining service period of the employees is 20 years.

Under the corridor approach, how much is the amortization of the actuarial gains for 2010?
