Answer:

Differences Between a Defined Contribution Pension Plan and a Defined Benefit Pension Plan.

With a defined contribution pension plan, the benefit that will accrue to the employee is not known or defined ahead of her retirement.  But the contributions that will be made by the employer and the employee to fund the pension are clearly spelt out.

With a defined benefit pension plan, the benefit (i.e. the monthly payment to the retiree) is stated ahead of the pension time.  It is based on the employee's tenure and salary.  Employees do not contribute to the plan but are entitled to lifetime monthly payments.

Explanation:

The employer and each employee contribute some certain percentages to each worker's individual retirement account (IRA) under the defined contribution pension plan.  Under the defined benefit pension plan, the employer is solely responsible for funding the plan and the employee benefits via a monthly payment from the funding plan during retirement.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

  • 10%
  • (will increase in the short run) but in the long run it will return to the potential output level.  

Explanation:

If the money supply is increased by 10%, the inflation rate will also increase by 10%.

In the short run the economy will be able to produce an output which is higher than the potential GDP, but once the inflation rate catches up, both the unemployment rate will increase and the real GDP will return to its potential output level.
