question 33

Essay

Othello Steel provides a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. One of its employees, Ginger Philips, who just turned 45 years old, expects to retire at age 70. At that time, the pension plan will pay Ginger annual pension payments equal to 10% of her final year's salary for each year of services rendered. The pension payments will continue until Ginger's death, which actuaries expect to be when she turns 95 years old. Ginger is currently earning $75,000 per year, and this rate is not expected to increase due to the poor state of the steel industry. Orion Steel uses a 6 % interest rate for its pension obligations.
