Retirement Plans | O. Retirement Plans ASC 715, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits” requires an employer with defined benefit plans or other postretirement benefit plans to recognize an asset or a liability on its balance sheet for the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans. The pension asset or liability represents a difference between the fair value of the pension plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation. Defined Benefit Pension Plans Teradyne has defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of domestic employees and employees of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Benefits under these plans are based on employees’ years of service and compensation. Teradyne’s funding policy is to make contributions to these plans in accordance with local laws and to the extent that such contributions are tax deductible. The assets of these plans consist primarily of fixed income and equity securities. In addition, Teradyne has an unfunded supplemental executive defined benefit plan in the United States to provide retirement benefits in excess of levels allowed by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as well as unfunded foreign plans. In the nine months ended October 2, 2016, Teradyne contributed $1.9 million to the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan, $1.9 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and $1.5 million to certain qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. In the nine months ended October 4, 2015, Teradyne contributed $1.9 million to the U.S. supplemental executive defined benefit pension plan and $0.6 million to certain qualified plans for non-U.S. subsidiaries. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2016 and October 4, 2015, Teradyne’s net periodic pension cost (income) was comprised of the following:
