问题如下:
Based on Li’s description of the deferred compensation plan and the data in Exhibit 2, the funding status of the plan is most likely explained by the difference between the:
选项:
A.portfolio’s current yield and the return inception to date.
解释:
C is correct. The portfolio’s assets exceed the present value of the deferred compensation plan’s vested benefits, so the plan currently has a surplus. Contributions are made for the 20% of employees who leave before their benefits have vested, providing a source of excess funding for the plan as the benefits are forfeited.
A is incorrect. The portfolio’s current yield is less than the interest credit, while the portfolio return is only equal to the required rate of return. These would not lead to a surplus in funding.
B is incorrect. The shorter duration of the portfolio compared with the average employee tenure would not contribute to a surplus, especially in a time when short-term rates are lower than long-term rates.
