Your prior service, therefore, will amount to seven and a half years. The monthly compensation applicable to your service prior to January 1, 1948 will be $600 ($7200 divided by 1000 is $7.20. $7.20 multiplied by 83 1/3 is $600). The annuity credit for each year of service before January, 1948 would be $7.00 - $1.00 plus 1 per cent of $600. Your annuity credit for service prior to January 1, 1948, will therefore be 7 1/2 x $7, or $52.50.
