republic services , inc . notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 ( continued ) we determine the discount rate used in the measurement of our obligations based on a model that matches the timing and amount of expected benefit payments to maturities of high quality bonds priced as of the plan measurement date . when that timing does not correspond to a published high-quality bond rate , our model uses an expected yield curve to determine an appropriate current discount rate . the yields on the bonds are used to derive a discount rate for the liability . the term of our obligation , based on the expected retirement dates of our workforce , is approximately seven years . in developing our expected rate of return assumption , we have evaluated the actual historical performance and long-term return projections of the plan assets , which give consideration to the asset mix and the anticipated timing of the plan outflows . we employ a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equity and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for what we consider a prudent level of risk . the intent of this strategy is to minimize plan expenses by outperforming plan liabilities over the long run . risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities , plan funded status and our financial condition . the investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments . furthermore , equity investments are diversified across u.s . and non-u.s . stocks as well as growth , value , and small and large capitalizations . derivatives may be used to gain market exposure in an efficient and timely manner ; however , derivatives may not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments . investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements , periodic asset and liability studies , and quarterly investment portfolio reviews . the following table summarizes our target asset allocation as of december 31 , 2018 and the actual asset allocation as of december 31 , 2018 and 2017 for our plan : december 31 , target allocation december 31 , actual allocation december 31 , actual allocation .
based on the december 31 2018 target what was the debt to equity ratio
asset allocations are reviewed and rebalanced periodically based on funded status . for 2019 , the investment strategy for plan assets is to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio designed to achieve our target of an average long-term rate of return of 5.20% ( 5.20 % ) . while we believe we can achieve a long-term average return of 5.20% ( 5.20 % ) , we cannot be certain that the portfolio will perform to our expectations . assets are strategically allocated among debt and equity portfolios to achieve a diversification level that reduces fluctuations in investment returns . asset allocation target ranges and strategies are reviewed periodically with the assistance of an independent external consulting firm. .

the price applied to the unbilled sales variance is due to a decrease in the fuel price included in unbilled sales in 2004 caused primarily by the effect of nuclear plant outages in 2003 on average fuel costs . the deferred fuel cost revisions variance resulted from a revised unbilled sales pricing estimate made in the first quarter of 2003 to more closely align the fuel component of that pricing with expected recoverable fuel costs . rate refund provisions caused a decrease in net revenue due to additional provisions recorded in 2004 compared to 2003 for potential rate actions and refunds . the volume/weather variance is due to a total increase of 620 gwh in weather-adjusted usage in all sectors , partially offset by the effect of milder weather on billed sales in the residential and commercial sectors . the summer capacity charges variance is due to the amortization in 2003 of deferred capacity charges for the summer of 2001 compared to the absence of the amortization in 2004 . the amortization of these capacity charges began in august 2002 and ended in july 2003. .
