Schedule of Assumptions used to Determine Projected Benefit Obligation | The following represent the major assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligation of the Plan. For 2019 and 2018, the Plan’s expected benefit cash flows were discounted using the FTSE Above Median Double-A Curve while in 2017, the Plan’s expected benefit cash flows were discounted using the Citibank Above Median Curve. For 2019, the Pri-2012 Mortality Table and MP-2019 Mortality Improvement Scale were used. For 2018, the RP-2014 Mortality Table and the MP-2018 Mortality Improvement Scale were used. For 2017, the RP-2014 Mortality Table and MP-2017 Mortality Improvement Scale were used.

Schedule of Assumed Long-term Rate of Return on Assets | The investment objective for the Plan is to maximize total return with a tolerance for average risk. Asset allocation is a balance between fixed income and equity investments, with a target allocation of approximately 51% fixed income, 19% U.S. equity and 30% non-U.S. equity. Due to volatility in the market, this target allocation is not always desirable and asset allocations can fluctuate between acceptable ranges. The fixed income component is invested in pooled investment grade securities. The equity components are invested in pooled large cap, small/mid cap and non-U.S. stocks. The expected one-year nominal returns and annual standard deviations are shown by asset class below:
Asset Class |  | % of Total Portfolio |  | One-Year Nominal Return |  | Annual Standard Deviation
Core Fixed Income |  | 51 | % |  | 3.78 | % |  | 3.90 | %
