Francisco Company has established a defined benefit pension plan for its lone employee, Derrald Ryan. Annual payments under the pension plan are equal to 3% of Derrald's highest lifetime salary multiplied by the number of years with the company. Derrald's salary in 2007 was $75,000. Derrald is expected to retire in 20 years, and his salary increases are expected to average 4% per year during that period.
