Example 2: Assume an employee is 40 years old and has been working for same firm as above for 15 years (same salary). If normal retirement age is 65, the interest rate is 8%, and the employee’s life expectancy is 80, what is the present value of the accrued pension benefit?
A: Annuity promised (at retirement) = 0.01*60,000*15=$9,000 PV accrued Pension benefit = $9,000*(P/A,8%,15)(P/F,8%,25)
= $9,000(8.5595)(0.1460) = $11,247

Each employee has an account into which the employer and the employee (in a contributory plan) make regular contributions.
Contributions from both parties are tax-deductible, and investment income accrues tax-free.
Each employee’s pension benefit entitlement is determined by a formula that takes into account years of service for the employer and, in most cases, wage or salary. (See example on next slide)
Pension Funds are currently very active in monitoring firms’ performance due to their increasing controlling share ownership. They reduce Agency problems between managers and shareholders
