Answer:
An employee has an average wage of $60,000 and has worked for the firm for 28 years. The defined benefit pension plan pays retirees 2.3% of the average wage times the years of service. The employee can expect to receive __$1,380_____ per year upon retirement.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Average wage = $60,000
Number of years worked in the firm = 28 years
Defined benefit pension plan rate = 2.3%
Annual defined benefit pension plan = $1,380 ($60,000 * 2.3%)
Total benefit to be received = $38,640 ($1,380*28) or ($60,000 *28 * 2.3%).
b) This employee is expected to receive the total benefit of $38,640 for serving the firm for 28 long years under the defined pension plan, given the plan rate of 2.3% of the average wage.
Freedom of individual choice is possible to the extent that the market provides options for work, developing a business, and purchasing goods and services (so long as you can afford them).
