    a) 3%

    b) the new workers contribute 16,068 dollars

    c) $160.68 each

    d) the old workers contribute 15,000 when they made his contribution

    e) rate of return 7.12%

    Explanation:

    growth rate: the increase in the workforce:

    103 new workers / 100 retired - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

    103 workers x 1,040 each x 15% = 16,068

    assuming no other employee:

    $16,068 pension fund / 100 retired persons = 160.68 dollars each

    100 workers x 1,000 each x 15% = 15,000

    e) the old retire contribute:

    1,000 x 15% = 150

    they receive 160.68

    rate of return:

    160.68 / 150 - 1 = 0.0712
