(1) 
Our 2016 and 2015 benefit obligations are measured using a mortality table projected to 2022.
(2) 
Future compensation levels do not impact our frozen defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement plans and impact only a small portion of our other postemployment liability.
(3) 
Our assumptions reflect various remeasurements of certain portions of our obligations and represent the weighted average of the assumptions used for each measurement date.
(4) 
Assumed healthcare cost trend rate at December 31, 2016 is assumed to decline gradually to 5.00% by 2023 and remain level thereafter.

Schedule of effect of one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates A 1% change in the healthcare cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated plan benefit obligation for these plans, which provide benefits to eligible retirees and their dependents who are under age 65, at December 31, 2016, would have the following effects:
