The assumptions above, which were used in calculating the December 31, 2014 measurement date
benefit obligations, will be used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost in 2015.
Weighted-Average Assumptions Used in Determining Net Periodic Benefit Cost
2014 2013 2012
Defined benefit plans
Discount rate 4.9% 4.3% 5.1%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 7.9% 8.2% 8.5%
Expected rate of change in compensation 5.0% 5.0% 4.2%
Other post-employment plans
Discount rate 5.3% 4.5% N/A
For 2014, for purposes of measuring post-retirement health care obligations as of the measurement
date, the company assumed a 7.5% pre-65 (7.3% post-65) annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered health care benefits. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.5% in 2064 and remain at
that level thereafter. For purposes of measuring post-retirement health care costs, the company assumed a
7.9% pre-65 (7.6% post-65) annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits.
The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% for 2051 and remain at that level thereafter.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for health care
plans. As of December 31, 2014, a 1 percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates
would have the following effects:
One percentage
