The liability for retirement and long service leave entitlements is carried at the present value of estimated
future cash flows, calculated based on a number of factors determined on an actuarial basis.
Two key assumptions used in calculating the retirement and long service leave liability include the discount
rate and the salary inflation factor. Any changes in these assumptions will impact on the carrying amount of
the liability.
Expected future payments are discounted using forward discount rates derived from the yield curve of New
Zealand government bonds. The salary inflation factor has been determined based on the long-term annual
increase in salaries and wages expected by the New Zealand Treasury. A discount rate of 4.39% (2014: 5.5%)
and an inflation factor of 3.0% (2014: 3.5%) were used.
Because the carrying amount of the retirement and long service leave liability is small, the impact of either the
discount rate or salary inflation factor differing by 1 percentage point from that used would be negligible.
