Question

ELO manufacturing is looking to hire a new plant supervisor. They have 2 qualified candidates, Charlie, 43 and Kevin, 36. Both would have a starting salary of $62,000. Each could expect a 3% cost of living raise each year. ELO Inc. also has a defined Benefit Pension plan that pays 35% of final salary as a benefit after 20 years of service, with a 2% increase in pension multiplier for each additional year of service after 20. ELO also has a "mandatory" retirement age of 66 for all plant jobs. What is the expected annual contribution to the retirement plan that each candidate would accrue if investments in the pension fund earned 6%?

Explanation / Answer

After 20 years,3% increase per annum

Salary of each =


pension benefit accrued after 20years of service=111979x35/100=39192.65

If Charlie continues till 66 yrs. then pension=41%of122362(retirement salary)

Charlie's pension at retirement=50168

If Kevin continues in service till retirement

pension=55%

150490 (retirement salary)x55/100=

Kevin's pension at retirement=82769.5
