These ranges are combined to produce an expected long-term <br />rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target allocation <br />and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following table: <br /> <br /> <br />Asset Class <br /> <br />Target Allocation <br /> Long-Term Expected Real <br />Rate of Return <br />Domestic Equity 33.50% 5.10% <br />International Equity 16.50% 5.30% <br />Fixed Income 25.00% 0.75% <br />Private Markets 25.00% 5.90% <br /> Total 100% <br />Deferred Outflows of Deferred Inflows of <br />Resources Resources <br />Differences between expected <br />and actual economic experience 111,602$ -$ <br />Changes in actuarial assumptions 451,054 591,512 <br />Difference between projected <br /> and actual investment earnings 49,067 - <br />Changes in proportionate share 51,977 54,486 <br />Contributions paid to PERA subsequent <br /> to the measurement date 44,846 - <br />Total Deferred Outflows/Inflows 708,546$ 645,998$ <br />Year ended <br />December 31, Pension Expense <br />2024 36,860$ <br />2025 22,441$ <br />2026 92,446$ <br />2027 (20,801)$ <br />2028 (113,244)$
