Weighted-average assumptions for pension and retiree medical expense are as follows:
2016 2015 2014
Pension
Expense discount rate 4.4% 4.1% 5.0%
Expected rate of return on plan assets 7.2% 7.3% 7.3%
Expected rate of salary increases 3.2% 3.5% 3.7%
Retiree medical
Expense discount rate 4.2% 3.8% 4.3%
Expected rate of return on plan assets 7.5% 7.5% 7.5%
Current health care cost trend rate 6.0% 6.2% 6.4%
Based on our assumptions, we expect our pension and retiree medical expenses to decrease in 2016 primarily
driven by higher discount rates and updates to demographic assumptions, partially offset by the amortization
of higher losses on plan assets.
Sensitivity of Assumptions
A decrease in the discount rate or in the expected rate of return assumptions would increase expense for our
benefit plans. A 25-basis-point decrease in the discount rate and expected rate of return assumptions would
increase the 2016 pension and retiree medical expense as follows:
Assumption Amount
Discount rate $47
Expected rate of return $36
See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about the sensitivity of our
retiree medical cost assumptions.
Funding
We make contributions to pension trusts that provide plan benefits for certain pension plans. These
contributions are made in accordance with applicable tax regulations that provide for current tax deductions
for our contributions and taxation to the employee only upon receipt of plan benefits. Generally, we do not
fund our pension plans when our contributions would not be currently tax deductible. As our retiree medical
plans are not subject to regulatory funding requirements, we generally fund these plans on a pay-as-you-go
basis, although we periodically review available options to make additional contributions toward these
benefits.
Our pension and retiree medical contributions are subject to change as a result of many factors, such as
changes in interest rates, deviations between actual and expected asset returns and changes in tax or other
benefit laws. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for our past and expected contributions and
estimated future benefit payments.
