(FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required: 2. Estimate by the projected benefits approach the amount of Davenport\'s annual retirement payments earned as of the end of 2018. 3. What is the company\'s projected benefit obligation at the end of 2018 with respect to Davenport? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.) 4. If no estimates are changed in the meantime, what will be the company\'s projected benefit obligation at the end of 2021 (three years later) with respect to Davenport? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.) 2. Annual retirement payments 3. Projected benefit obligation 2018 4. Projected benefit obligation 2021

Solution

Annual retirement payment .016*35 years* 250000=140000*7.6861(factor)= 1076052

Benefit obligation. 2018 .016*20 years*250000= 80000* 3.2071(factor) = 256570.8

Benefits obligation 2021 .016*17 years * 250000= 68000*2.6928 (factor) = 183108.5
