The liquidation period for the unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities (as provided by law) is 32 years from June
30,1988. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contribution requirements are the same as those
used to compute the pension benefit obligation.
The computation of the pension contribution requirements for fiscal year 1988 was based on the same
actuarial assumptions, benefit provisions, actuarial funding method, and other significant factors used to
determine pension contribution requirements in the previous year.
Retirement expenditures applicable to governmental fund types for the year ended June 30, 1988,
aggregated approximately $475,015,000. The excess of retirement expenditures over retirement costs of
approximately $47,009,000, is included in the general long-term debt account group.
