1. (Pension Terminology and Theory) Many business organizations have been concerned with providing for the retirement of employees since the late 1800s. During recent decades a marked increase in this concern has resulted in the establishment of private pension plans in most large companies and in many medium- and small-sized ones. The substantial growth of these plans, both in numbers of employees covered and in amounts of retirement benefits, has increased the significance of pension cost in relation to the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of many companies. In examining the costs of pension plans, a CPA encounters certain terms. The components of pension costs that the terms represent must be dealt with appropriately if generally accepted accounting principles are to be reflected in the financial statements of entities with pension plans.
(a) Define a private pension plan. How does a contributory pension plan differ from a non-contributory plan?
(b) Differentiate between "accounting for the employer" and "accounting for the pension fund."
(c) Explain the terms "funded" and "pension liability" as they relate to:
(1) The pension fund.
(2) The employer.
(d) (1) Discuss the theoretical justification for accrual recognition of pension costs.
(2) Discuss the relative objectivity of the measurement process of accrual versus cash (pay-as-you-go) accounting for annual pension costs.
(e) Distinguish among the following as they relate to pension plans.
(1) Service cost.
(2) Prior service costs.
(3) Vested benefits.
