Weighted Average Actuarial Assumptions:
Fiscal
2010 2009 2008
Discount rate for benefit obligation(1)
Pension 5.25% 5.60% 6.75%
Postretirement 3.45% 4.43% 6.24%
Discount rate for net periodic benefit cost
Pension 5.63% 6.75% 6.00%
Postretirement 4.43% 6.24% 5.99%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets(2) 7.50% 7.50% 7.50%
Rate of increase in compensation levels for:
Benefit obligation 4.50% 5.50% 5.50%
Net periodic benefit cost(3) 5.50% 5.50% 5.50%
(1) Based on a "bond duration matching" methodology, which reflects the matching of projected plan liability cash flows to an average of high-quality
corporate bond yield curves whose duration matches the projected cash flows.
(2) Primarily based on the targeted allocation, and evaluated for reasonableness by considering such factors as: (i) actual return on plan assets; (ii) historical
rates of return on various asset classes in the portfolio; (iii) projections of returns on various asset classes; and (iv) current and prospective capital
market conditions and economic forecasts.
(3) For the net periodic benefit cost for fiscal 2010, rate of increase in compensation is 0% for fiscal 2010 and 5.5% for fiscal 2011 and thereafter.
The assumed annual rate of future increases in health benefits for the other postretirement benefits plan is 8% for fiscal 2011. The rate is assumed to
decrease to 5% by 2016 and remain at that level thereafter. These trend rates reflect management's expectations of future rates. Increasing or decreasing the
healthcare cost trend by 1% would change the postretirement accumulated plan benefit obligation by less than $1 million.
