ELO manufacturing is looking to hire a new plant supervisor. They have 2 qualified candidates, Charlie, 43, and Kevin, 36. Both would have a starting salary of $62,000.

ELO Inc. also has a defined Benefit Pension plan that pays 35% of the final salary as a benefit after 20 years of service, with a 2% increase in pension multiplier for each additional year of service after 20. ELO also has a "mandatory" retirement age of 66 for all plant jobs. What is the expected annual contribution to the retirement plan that each candidate would accrue if investments in the pension fund earned 6%?
