Hey guys, studying for FAR and I’m getting really confused. Any help will be appreciated.
So in the case of prior service costs/pension losses:
A penion loss increases the PBO and results in a greater expense to the company.
DR: OCI
CR: Pension Benefit Liability
Why is this the case? I think I’m getting mixed up here with the properties of OCI. A debit adds to OCI account, but shouldn’t there technically be a decrease in the AOCI account because the company is incurring a greater expense? I’m not even sure if this question make sense anymore, but hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance!
