Question: for pension expense , does a .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets have a greater impact than a .5% ( .5 % ) increase in compensation rate?
Evidence:
table_2: change in assumption ( a ) the .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets of estimatedincrease/ ( decrease ) to 2015pensionexpense ( in millions ) is $ 22 ;
table_3: change in assumption ( a ) the .5% ( .5 % ) increase in compensation rate of estimatedincrease/ ( decrease ) to 2015pensionexpense ( in millions ) is $ 2 ;
