Accountants [in the US] need to calculate corporate minimum pension liabilities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1988. The determination of minimum pension liability is dependent on whether pension plan asset fair values are exceeded by accumulated benefit obligations. The recognized liability needs to account for any existing accrued or prepaid pension costs. Liability credit matching debits are intangible assets and they cannot exceed maximum pension intangibles. Any debits that are made in excess of maximum intangibles must be placed in a contra-equity account net of tax. 3, record 3, English, - minimum%20pension%20liability

It is observed that the domestic producers manufacture both "homopolyols" and "heteropolyols" and they are supplying heteropolyols to their customers. Grade F-3002 in the case of MPL and grade F-3010 in the case of SORL are heteropolyols. The companies had, however, first introduced heteropolyol which is based only on Propylene Oxide, based on the advice of their collaborators and also partly due to the very tight availability situation of Ethylene Oxide. In 1992, they introducted heteropolyol. However, with a view to conserve EO for strategically important cold cure products, they sold heteropolyols to those customers alone who wanted only this particular grade and supplied homopolyols to customers who wanted continuous repeat supply of any one grade consistently without change. The domestic producers have submitted that heteropolyols are easy to process because of Ethylene Oxide content and require certain catalysts slightly less. 4, record 4, English, - copolyol
