Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The fair value method and net present value method both deal with estimating the value of something, but I'm not sure if they specifically address the attribution to periods of service. I'll have to think this through more carefully.

The projected unit credit method is definitely the way to go here. It's the standard actuarial approach for calculating the present value of defined benefit pension obligations and taking into account future salary increases and demographic factors. I'm confident this is the right answer.
