问题如下:

(2) The least appropriate answer to Paul’s second question is that the:

选项:

A.

opening obligation would decrease.

B.

current service cost would increase.

C.

interest cost may either increase or decrease.

解释:

B is correct. The current service cost is the present value of the annual unit credit earned in the current period. A higher discount rate means that the present value of the future benefits earned in retirement will be lower and hence the annual unit credit will be lower. Therefore, the current service cost will decrease not increase.

帮忙解释一下选项C。谢谢

同学你好,因为discount rate可以在两个方面影响interest cost

首先,由于折现率升高,其实未来一系列obligation折现到0时刻的价值会更低,即PBO会降低

但是折现率也是计算interest cost的乘数

即interest cost = PBO * interest rate,所以折现率升高又会使乘数变大

所以最后interest cost就变高或者变低都有可能
