问题如下:
Based on Exhibit 5, the asset amount reported on HiQ’s balance sheet related to the unionized workforce pension plan is closest to:选项:
A.$1,100,000.00 B.$500,000.00 C.$600,000.00解释:
Solution B is correct. The unionized plan is a defined-benefit plan, and the amount reported on the balance sheet is normally the net of the fair value of plan assets less the present value of defined-benefit obligation ($16.6 – $15.5 = $1.1 million). However, if the plan has a surplus, as this one does, the net pension asset is subject to a ceiling defined as the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions, which in this plan is $500,000.
A is incorrect. It calculates the surplus but doesn’t consider the ceiling.
C is incorrect. It incorrectly adds the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to the defined-benefit obligation: 1.1 – 0.500 = 600,000.
中文解析:这道题考查的是养老金计划在资产负债表上的报告原则。
题干说S公司要收购H公司(其劳动力是属于工会),分析师决定看看H公司的劳动合同,看看是否对收购价格有影响。然后H公司有两个退休后计划,一个是工会劳动力(这个是收益确定性,plan asset为16.6,PBO为15.5,资产上限为0.5),还有一个管理层计划(这个是缴费固定型,由H公司按照年收入的8%缴费,资产上限是8.222)。
接下来题目问,H公司关于工会劳动力的养老金计划反映在资产负债表中的金额为多少。
收益确定型计划(DB)是承诺在员工退休后为其提供约定金额福利的离职后福利计划。国际财务报告准则和美国通用会计准则都要求企业将基金资产盈亏状态(funded status)报告在资产负债表上。
基金资产盈亏状态=计划资产公允价值-预计给付义务
如果基金资产处于盈余状态(surplus,or overfunded),说明此时计划资产公允价值(fair value of plan assets)大于预计给付义务,企业应在资产负债表上报告净养老金资产(net pension asset);相反,如果基金资产处于赤字状态(deficit,or underfunded),此时预计给付义务大于计划资产公允价值,企业应在资产负债表上报告净养老金负债(net pension liability)。
当基金资产存在盈余时,企业还应当注意资产上限对净养老金资产的影响。资产上限是指企业可从收益确定型计划退款(refunds from the plan)或减少未来交纳的提存金(reduction of future contributions)而获得的经济利益(economic benefit)的现值。此时,企业应当以基金资产盈余和资产上限中孰低者来计量净养老金资产。
B选项正确。基金资产盈亏状态=计划资产公允价值-预计给付义务=16.6-15.5=1.1。但是题目给定了资产上限为0.5,取孰低者,因此答案为0.5.
A选项错误。未考虑资产上限。
C选项错误。用了基金资产盈余和资产上限相减,错误公式。
养老金资产净额上限的知识点是在哪里的?
