With regards to pensions, I guess this is the million dollar question - If the accounting and pension authorities allow Companies to use 'reasonable' assumptions, how can these companies be caught by using something like a 9% rate?. Now, we all know here that a rate such as that is likely not attainable but given the past 20 years an argument can be made that it is 'reasonable'. Especially, when these assumptions deal with such an unknown - future markets returns. Maybe the pension/accounting authorities should be setting maximum rates companies can use? No..that is too easy a solution...
