Answer:
This employee benefit is worth $40,384.69 today.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Employer contributions per week = $75
Period of work for the employer = 20 years (20 * 52 = 1,040)
Applicable discount rate is 7.5%
PV = $40,384.69
Sum of all periodic contributions = $78,000.00 ($75*20*52)
Total Interest = $37,615.31
b) The worth of the employee benefit equals the present value of all the contributions by the employer and the accompanying interest, compounded weekly at 7.5% per annum for a period of 20 years.
