Sachs Brands's defined benefit pension plan specifies annual
retirement benefits equal to 1.6% × service years × final year's
salary, payable at the end of each year. Angela Davenport was hired
by Sachs at the beginning of 2007 and is expected to retire at the
end of 2041 after 35 years' service. Her retirement is expected to
span 18 years. Davenport's salary is $89,000 at the end of 2021 and
the company's actuary projects her salary to be $275,000 at
retirement. The actuary's discount rate is 7%. (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.)

obligation at the beginning of 2021 (after 14 years' service) with

dollar.)

approach the portion of Davenport's annual retirement payments
attributable to 2021 service.

whole dollar.)

company's projected benefit obligation at the end of 2021 (after 15
years' service) with respect to Davenport. (Do not
