OService cost represents the additional pension benefits earned by employees during the current year but paid to employees in the future. Interest cost is the expense we incur on funds borrowed by the pension plan. OService cost represents the wages earned by employees managing the pension plan during the current year. Interest cost is an expense that accrues on the pension obligation during the year. OService cost represents the additional pension benefits earned by employees during the current year but paid to employees in the future. Interest cost is an expense that accrues on the pension obligation during the year. OService cost represents the wages earned by employees managing the pension plan during the current year. Interest cost is the expense we incur on funds borrowed by the pension plan (b) What is the actual return on the pension and the health care ("Other") plan investments in 2015? Use a negative sign to indicate the actual return was a loss, if applicable. $ 0 million Was Xerox's profitability impacted by this amount? OThe actual return for the pension plans is the income or loss that is reported in Xerox's income statement. Because the "Other" (health care) plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, it does not affect Xerox's profit until the benefits are paid. OThe expected return (not the actual return) on the pension plan assets impacts Xerox's income for 2015. Pension expense is reduced by this amount. Because the health care ("Other") plan is not funded, there are no assets generating a return, hence there is no expected return offset for this OXerox's profit is reduced by the expected return on pension assets. Because the health care ("Other") plan is not funded, there are no assets generating a return, hence there is no expected return offset for this plan. The actual return for both plans is the income or loss that is reported in Xerox's income statement. (C) Provide an example under which an "actuarial loss," such as the $332 million loss in 2015 that Xerox reports, might arise. OA reduction in the amount of benefit payments. OA decrease in the expected return assumption. OA decrease in the actual return on plan assets. OA decrease in the discount rate, (d) What is the source of funds to make payments to retirees? Opension and health care obligations Opension and health care liabilities Opension and health care assets Ooperating cash flows (e) How much cash did Xerox contribute to its pension and health care plans in 2015? Pension = $ 0 million Health Care = $ 0 million (f) How much cash did retirees receive in 2015 from the pension plan and the health care plan? Pension = 5 0 million Health Care = $ 0 million How much cash did Xerox pay these retirees in 2015? $0 million (3) Show the computation of the 2015 funded status for the pension and health care plans. Do not use negative signs with your answers. Pension: $10,665 million - $ 0 million = $0 million Health Care : $0 million - 5 0 million = S 0 million Check
