ABC Ltd. initiated a one-person pension plan in January 2012 that promises the employee a pension on retirement according to the following formula: pension benefit = 2.5% of final salary per year of service after the plan initiation. The employee began employment with ABC early in 2009 at age 33, and expects to retire at the end of 2035, the year in which he turns 60. His life expectancy at that time is 21 years. Assume that this employee earned an annual salary of $40,000 when he joined ABC, that his salary was expected to increase at a rate of 4% per year, and that this remains a reasonable assumption to date. ABC considers a discount rate of 6% to be appropriate. Please provide calculations

Required:

1) What is the employees expected final salary?

2) What amount of current service cost should ABC recognize in 2017 relative to this plan?

3) What is the amount of the accrued benefit obligation at December 31, 2017?
