FUNDING STATUS AND PROGRESS <br />The accrued pension liability was determined as of December 31, 1994 pursuant to State Statutes. This <br />measure is used as a substitute for the standardized measure of the pension obligation normally required <br />by GASB Statement No. 5. <br />Significant actuarial assumptions are as follows: <br />• The entry age normal cost method was used to determine the normal cost of all benefits. <br />• The rate of investment return used in making the valuation was 5% per annum, compounded <br />annually. <br />Age and service retirement was assumed to occur at age 50. <br />Page 77 <br />
