the discount rate used to measure pension obligations is determined by comparing the expected future benefits that will be paid under the plan with yields available on high quality corporate bonds of similar duration . the impact on pension expense of a .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate in the current environment is an increase of $ 18 million per year . this sensitivity depends on the economic environment and amount of unrecognized actuarial gains or losses on the measurement date . the expected long-term return on assets assumption also has a significant effect on pension expense . the expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption established by considering historical and anticipated returns of the asset classes invested in by the pension plan and the asset allocation policy currently in place . for purposes of setting and reviewing this assumption , 201clong term 201d refers to the period over which the plan 2019s projected benefit obligations will be disbursed . we review this assumption at each measurement date and adjust it if warranted . our selection process references certain historical data and the current environment , but primarily utilizes qualitative judgment regarding future return expectations . to evaluate the continued reasonableness of our assumption , we examine a variety of viewpoints and data . various studies have shown that portfolios comprised primarily of u.s . equity securities have historically returned approximately 9% ( 9 % ) annually over long periods of time , while u.s . debt securities have returned approximately 6% ( 6 % ) annually over long periods . application of these historical returns to the plan 2019s allocation ranges for equities and bonds produces a result between 6.50% ( 6.50 % ) and 7.25% ( 7.25 % ) and is one point of reference , among many other factors , that is taken into consideration . we also examine the plan 2019s actual historical returns over various periods and consider the current economic environment . recent experience is considered in our evaluation with appropriate consideration that , especially for short time periods , recent returns are not reliable indicators of future returns . while annual returns can vary significantly ( actual returns for 2014 , 2013 and 2012 were +6.50% ( +6.50 % ) , +15.48% ( +15.48 % ) , and +15.29% ( +15.29 % ) , respectively ) , the selected assumption represents our estimated long-term average prospective returns . acknowledging the potentially wide range for this assumption , we also annually examine the assumption used by other companies with similar pension investment strategies , so that we can ascertain whether our determinations markedly differ from others . in all cases , however , this data simply informs our process , which places the greatest emphasis on our qualitative judgment of future investment returns , given the conditions existing at each annual measurement date . taking into consideration all of these factors , the expected long-term return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension cost for 2014 was 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) , down from 7.50% ( 7.50 % ) for 2013 . after considering the views of both internal and external capital market advisors , particularly with regard to the effects of the recent economic environment on long-term prospective fixed income returns , we are reducing our expected long-term return on assets to 6.75% ( 6.75 % ) for determining pension cost for under current accounting rules , the difference between expected long-term returns and actual returns is accumulated and amortized to pension expense over future periods . each one percentage point difference in actual return compared with our expected return can cause expense in subsequent years to increase or decrease by up to $ 9 million as the impact is amortized into results of operations . we currently estimate pretax pension expense of $ 9 million in 2015 compared with pretax income of $ 7 million in 2014 . this year-over-year expected increase in expense reflects the effects of the lower expected return on asset assumption , improved mortality , and the lower discount rate required to be used in 2015 . these factors will be partially offset by the favorable impact of the increase in plan assets at december 31 , 2014 and the assumed return on a $ 200 million voluntary contribution to the plan made in february 2015 . the table below reflects the estimated effects on pension expense of certain changes in annual assumptions , using 2015 estimated expense as a baseline . table 26 : pension expense 2013 sensitivity analysis change in assumption ( a ) estimated increase/ ( decrease ) to 2015 pension expense ( in millions ) . <table

the discount rate used to measure pension obligations is determined by comparing the expected future benefits that will be paid under the plan with yields available on high quality corporate bonds of similar duration . the impact on pension expense of a .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate in the current environment is an increase of $ 18 million per year . this sensitivity depends on the economic environment and amount of unrecognized actuarial gains or losses on the measurement date . the expected long-term return on assets assumption also has a significant effect on pension expense . the expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption established by considering historical and anticipated returns of the asset classes invested in by the pension plan and the asset allocation policy currently in place . for purposes of setting and reviewing this assumption , 201clong term 201d refers to the period over which the plan 2019s projected benefit obligations will be disbursed . we review this assumption at each measurement date and adjust it if warranted . our selection process references certain historical data and the current environment , but primarily utilizes qualitative judgment regarding future return expectations . to evaluate the continued reasonableness of our assumption , we examine a variety of viewpoints and data . various studies have shown that portfolios comprised primarily of u.s . equity securities have historically returned approximately 9% ( 9 % ) annually over long periods of time , while u.s . debt securities have returned approximately 6% ( 6 % ) annually over long periods . application of these historical returns to the plan 2019s allocation ranges for equities and bonds produces a result between 6.50% ( 6.50 % ) and 7.25% ( 7.25 % ) and is one point of reference , among many other factors , that is taken into consideration . we also examine the plan 2019s actual historical returns over various periods and consider the current economic environment . recent experience is considered in our evaluation with appropriate consideration that , especially for short time periods , recent returns are not reliable indicators of future returns . while annual returns can vary significantly ( actual returns for 2014 , 2013 and 2012 were +6.50% ( +6.50 % ) , +15.48% ( +15.48 % ) , and +15.29% ( +15.29 % ) , respectively ) , the selected assumption represents our estimated long-term average prospective returns . acknowledging the potentially wide range for this assumption , we also annually examine the assumption used by other companies with similar pension investment strategies , so that we can ascertain whether our determinations markedly differ from others . in all cases , however , this data simply informs our process , which places the greatest emphasis on our qualitative judgment of future investment returns , given the conditions existing at each annual measurement date . taking into consideration all of these factors , the expected long-term return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension cost for 2014 was 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) , down from 7.50% ( 7.50 % ) for 2013 . after considering the views of both internal and external capital market advisors , particularly with regard to the effects of the recent economic environment on long-term prospective fixed income returns , we are reducing our expected long-term return on assets to 6.75% ( 6.75 % ) for determining pension cost for under current accounting rules , the difference between expected long-term returns and actual returns is accumulated and amortized to pension expense over future periods . each one percentage point difference in actual return compared with our expected return can cause expense in subsequent years to increase or decrease by up to $ 9 million as the impact is amortized into results of operations . we currently estimate pretax pension expense of $ 9 million in 2015 compared with pretax income of $ 7 million in 2014 . this year-over-year expected increase in expense reflects the effects of the lower expected return on asset assumption , improved mortality , and the lower discount rate required to be used in 2015 . these factors will be partially offset by the favorable impact of the increase in plan assets at december 31 , 2014 and the assumed return on a $ 200 million voluntary contribution to the plan made in february 2015 . the table below reflects the estimated effects on pension expense of certain changes in annual assumptions , using 2015 estimated expense as a baseline . table 26 : pension expense 2013 sensitivity analysis change in assumption ( a ) estimated increase/ ( decrease ) to 2015 pension expense ( in millions ) . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>change in assumption ( a )</td><td>estimatedincrease/ ( decrease ) to 2015pensionexpense ( in millions )</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate</td><td>$ 18</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets</td><td>$ 22</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) increase in compensation rate</td><td>$ 2</td></tr></table> ( a ) the impact is the effect of changing the specified assumption while holding all other assumptions constant . our pension plan contribution requirements are not particularly sensitive to actuarial assumptions . investment performance has the most impact on contribution requirements and will drive the amount of required contributions in future years . also , current law , including the provisions of the pension protection act of 2006 , sets limits as to both minimum and maximum contributions to the plan . notwithstanding the voluntary contribution made in february 2015 noted above , we do not expect to be required to make any contributions to the plan during 2015 . we maintain other defined benefit plans that have a less significant effect on financial results , including various nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for certain employees , which are described more fully in note 13 employee benefit plans in the notes to consolidated financial statements in item 8 of this report . 66 the pnc financial services group , inc . 2013 form 10-k .

value that would have been realized if the awards had been settled in shares , i.e. , upon settlement , recipients will receive cash equal to the hartford 2019s share price multiplied by the number of

marathon oil corporation notes to consolidated financial statements expected long-term return on plan assets 2013 the expected long-term return on plan assets assumption for our u.s . funded plan is determined based on an asset rate-of-return modeling tool developed by a third-party investment group which utilizes underlying assumptions based on actual returns by asset category and inflation and takes into account our u.s . pension plan 2019s asset allocation . to determine the expected long-term return on plan assets assumption for our international plans , we consider the current level of expected returns on risk-free investments ( primarily government bonds ) , the historical levels of the risk premiums associated with the other applicable asset categories and the expectations for future returns of each asset class . the expected return for each asset category is then weighted based on the actual asset allocation to develop the overall expected long-term return on plan assets assumption . assumed weighted average health care cost trend rates . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2018</td><td>2017</td><td>2016</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>initial health care trend rate</td><td>n/a</td><td>8.00% ( 8.00 % )</td><td>8.25% ( 8.25 % )</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>ultimate trend rate</td><td>n/a</td><td>4.70% ( 4.70 % )</td><td>4.50% ( 4.50 % )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>year ultimate trend rate is reached</td><td>n/a</td><td>2025</td><td>2025</td></tr></table> n/a all retiree medical subsidies are frozen as of january 1 , 2019 . employer provided subsidies for post-65 retiree health care coverage were frozen effective january 1 , 2017 at january 1 , 2016 established amount levels . company contributions are funded to a health reimbursement account on the retiree 2019s behalf to subsidize the retiree 2019s cost of obtaining health care benefits through a private exchange ( the 201cpost-65 retiree health benefits 201d ) . therefore , a 1% ( 1 % ) change in health care cost trend rates would not have a material impact on either the service and interest cost components and the postretirement benefit obligations . in the fourth quarter of 2018 , we terminated the post-65 retiree health benefits effective as of december 31 , 2020 . the post-65 retiree health benefits will no longer be provided after that date . in addition , the pre-65 retiree medical coverage subsidy has been frozen as of january 1 , 2019 , and the ability for retirees to opt in and out of this coverage , as well as pre-65 retiree dental and vision coverage , has also been eliminated . retirees must enroll in connection with retirement for such coverage , or they lose eligibility . these plan changes reduced our retiree medical benefit obligation by approximately $ 99 million . plan investment policies and strategies 2013 the investment policies for our u.s . and international pension plan assets reflect the funded status of the plans and expectations regarding our future ability to make further contributions . long-term investment goals are to : ( 1 ) manage the assets in accordance with applicable legal requirements ; ( 2 ) produce investment returns which meet or exceed the rates of return achievable in the capital markets while maintaining the risk parameters set by the plan's investment committees and protecting the assets from any erosion of purchasing power ;

income and franchise tax provisions are allocable to contracts in process and , accordingly , are included in general and administrative expenses . deferred income taxes are recorded when revenues and expenses are recognized in different periods for financial statement purposes than for tax return purposes . deferred tax asset or liability account balances are calculated at the balance sheet date using current tax laws and rates in effect . determinations of the expected realizability of deferred tax assets and the need for any valuation allowances against these deferred tax assets were evaluated based upon the stand-alone tax attributes of the company , and valuation allowances of $ 21 million and $ 18 million were deemed necessary as of december 31 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively . uncertain tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold , based on the merits of the position , are recognized in the financial statements . we recognize the amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% ( 50 % ) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority . if a tax position does not meet the minimum statutory threshold to avoid payment of penalties , we recognize an expense for the amount of the penalty in the period the tax position is claimed or expected to be claimed in our tax return . penalties , if probable and reasonably estimable , are recognized as a component of income tax expense . we also recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense . the timing and amount of accrued interest is determined by the applicable tax law associated with an underpayment of income taxes . see note 11 : income taxes . under existing gaap , changes in accruals associated with uncertainties are recorded in earnings in the period they are determined . cash and cash equivalents - the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items , having original maturity dates of 90 days or less . accounts receivable - accounts receivable include amounts billed and currently due from customers , amounts currently due but unbilled , certain estimated contract change amounts , claims or requests for equitable adjustment in negotiation that are probable of recovery , and amounts retained by the customer pending contract completion . inventoried costs - inventoried costs primarily relate to work in process under contracts that recognize revenues using labor dollars or units of delivery as the basis of the percentage-of-completion calculation . these costs represent accumulated contract costs less cost of sales , as calculated using the percentage-of-completion method . accumulated contract costs include direct production costs , factory and engineering overhead , production tooling costs , and , for government contracts , allowable general and administrative expenses . according to the provisions of the company's u.s . government contracts , the customer asserts title to , or a security interest in , inventories related to such contracts as a result of contract advances , performance-based payments , and progress payments . in accordance with industry practice , inventoried costs are classified as a current asset and include amounts related to contracts having production cycles longer than one year . inventoried costs also include company owned raw materials , which are stated at the lower of cost or market , generally using the average cost method . property , plant , and equipment - depreciable properties owned by the company are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of individual assets . costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the software , not to exceed nine years . leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the term of the lease . the remaining assets are depreciated using the straight-line method , with the following lives: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>land improvements</td><td>years 3</td><td>years -</td><td>years 45</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>buildings and improvements</td><td>3</td><td>-</td><td>60</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>capitalized software costs</td><td>3</td><td>-</td><td>9</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>machinery and other equipment</td><td>2</td><td>-</td><td>45</td></tr></table> the company evaluates the recoverability of its property , plant and equipment when there are changes in economic circumstances or business objectives that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable . the company's evaluations include estimated future cash flows , profitability and other factors in determining fair value . as these assumptions and estimates may change over time , it may or may not be necessary to record impairment charges. .
