relationships among the elements that constitute Carney, Inc.,
defined benefit pension plan follows. Six years earlier, Carney

employees in prior years using the more generous formula. The prior
service cost created by the recalculation is being amortized at the
rate of $5 million per year. At the end of 2018, the pension
formula was amended again, creating an additional prior service
cost of $35 million. The expected rate of return on assets and the
actuary’s discount rate were 10%, and the average remaining service
life of the active employee group is 10 years.
