	2018			2017
Discount rate		3.59	%		3.21	%
Salary increase rate		2.35	%		2.35	%

Effective rate for interest cost		2.88	%		2.89	%
Salary increase rate		2.35	%		2.35	%

Healthcare cost trend		5.70	%		5.36	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)		3.38	%		4.36	%
Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate		2038			2022
