Textbook Problems Page 128 Problem 3 Your
company currently offers a defined benefit plan
using the following formula for retirement
benefits at age 65 final average pay, years of
service, and a 2 percent replacement income
factor. There is a 2 percent actuarial reduction
per year for retirement between the ages of 55
(the earliest date on which one can retire) and
65. There is no actuarial cost for the mandatory
50 percent spouse option arising from age
variations between the spouses. Your CFO
considers the plan too costly. You decide to keep
the DBP as is for your current employees, but
offer a modified DBP for new hires. The new hire
plan will continue to encourage long and
productive service, but will reduce the cost to
the company.
