| davidt876 | II - applies to both defined contribution and benefit, so it's not an incentive to use one over the othe |
| UcheSam | @davidt876 II only applies to Defined Benefit Plant as Defined Contribution Plan does not have pension investment earnings. Pension contributions are expense in the period services was earned, although tax deductible. |
| nik24 | Why not III ? Since, it can be used as a tool manage net income |
