Schedule of Health Care Cost Trend Rates [Table Text Block] |
Healthcare Trend Rate
As a result of previous modifications made to healthcare plans, there are no significant uncapped U.S. healthcare plans remaining, therefore, the healthcare cost trend rate does not have a significant effect on our U.S. plans. The implementation of the HCT at October 31, 2011 eliminated significant exposure to changes in the healthcare cost trend rate for non-U.S. plans. | | | | December 31, 2010 | Assumed Healthcare Trend Rates | | Initial healthcare cost trend rate | 5.6% | Ultimate healthcare cost trend rate | 3.4% | Number of years to ultimate trend rate | 8 |
|
Schedule of Effect of One-Percentage-Point Change in Assumed Health Care Cost Trend Rates [Table Text Block] |
Healthcare trend rate assumptions are determined for inclusion in healthcare OPEB valuation at each remeasurement. The healthcare trend rates are developed using historical cash expenditures and near-term outlook for retiree healthcare. This information is supplemented with information gathered from actuarial based models, information obtained from healthcare providers and known significant events.
The following table summarizes the effect of a one-percentage point change in the assumed healthcare trend rates for non-U.S. plans (dollars in millions): | | | | | | | | |
