Explanation of Solution
- For Employee T:
Determine the present value of an ordinary annuity.
PV factor (Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 15, i = 11%) is taken from the table value (Table 4 in Appendix from textbook).
Determine the present value.
PV factor (Present value of $1: n = 2, i = 10%) is taken from the table value (Table 2 in Appendix from textbook).
- For Employee E:
Determine the present value of an ordinary annuity.
PV factor (Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 15, i = 11%) is taken from the table value (Table 4 in Appendix from textbook).
Determine the present value.
PV factor (Present value of $1: n = 3, i = 11%) is taken from the table value (Table 2 in Appendix from textbook).
- For Employee C:
Determine the present value of an ordinary annuity.
PV factor (Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 15, i = 11%) is taken from the table value (Table 4 in Appendix from textbook).
Determine the present value.
PV factor (Present value of $1: n = 4, i = 11%) is taken from the table value (Table 2 in Appendix from textbook).
Thus, following are the present values of the pension obligation of the three employees.
Employees | Present values ($) |
T | 116,725 |

Explanation of Solution
Determine the present value of pension obligation as of December 31, 2021.

T | $116,725 | x | 1.36763 | = | $159,637 |
E | 131,448 | x | 1.36763 | = | 179,772 |
C | 142,105 | x | 1.36763 | = | 194,347 |
Total present value, December 31, 2021 | $533,756 |
Table (2)
Compute the annual contribution using future value of annuity due.
FV factor (Future value of an annuity due of $1: n =3, i =11%) is taken from the table value (Table 5 in Appendix from textbook).
Hence, the first contribution that will be made on December 31, 2016 is $143,881.
