rodney176 | How does compensation affect the discount rate ? |
merc5559 | It doesn't. Interest cost= PBO x Discount Rate. Higher rate of compensation leads to higher PBO which leads to higher interest cost. |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
