Saylor guitars-min return requirement

Hi all,

It is unclear for me how much is the minimum return requirement for a defined benefit pension plan.

It uses a discount rate f 4.5% to compute pension benefit obligations and expects inflation rate of 1.5%

The answer is 4.5% as the plan is only fully funded.

Why we don’t include also the inflation rate?

In some cases I saw to compute it 4.5+1.5

Your discount rate will factor in inflation
