Jenny joins XYZ Corporation today as an actuary at age 60. Her starting annual salary is
225,000 and will increase by 4% each year on her birthday. Assume that retirement takes
place on a birthday immediately following the salary increase.
XYZ offers a plan to its employees with the following benefits:

retirement for each year of service. Retirement is compulsory at age 65; however,
early retirement is permitted at ages 63 and 64, but with the retirement benefit
reduced by 40% and 20%, respectively. The retirement benefit is paid on the date
of retirement.
A death benefit, payable at the end of the year of death, equal to a single sum of
100% of the annual salary rate at the time of death, provided death occurs while
the employee is still employed.
