The discount rate for each plan used for determining future net periodic benefit cost is based on a review of highly rated
long-term bonds. The discount rate for the Company’s U.S. Plans is based on a bond portfolio that includes only long-term
bonds with an Aa rating, or equivalent, from a major rating agency. The Company believes the timing and amount of cash
flows related to the bonds included in this portfolio is expected to match the estimated defined benefit payment streams
of its U.S. Plans. In determining the long-term rate of return for a plan, the Company considers the historical rates of
return, the nature of the plan’s investments and an expectation for the plan’s investment strategies.
Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. The
assumed weighted-average health care cost trend rate for the coming year is 7.05% while the weighted-average ultimate
trend rate of 4.56% is expected to be reached in approximately 20 years. A one-percentage-point change in assumed
health care cost trend rates for fiscal 2010 would have had the following effects:
One-Percentage-Point Increase One-Percentage-Point Decrease
(In millions)
Effect on total service and interest costs $1.1 $(1.0)
Effect on post-retirement benefit obligations $9.4 $(9.0)
