Alicia has been working for JMM Corporated for 32 years. Alicia participates in JMM's defined benefit plan. Under the plan, for every year of service for JMM, she is to receive 2 percent of the average salary of her three highest consecutive calendar years of compensation from JMM. She retired on January 1, 2022. Before retirement, her annual salary was $570,000, $600,000, and $630,000 for 2019, 2020, and 2021. What is the maximum benefit Alicia can receive in 2022?   The answer I keep getting is $245,000 and that is the wrong answer. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated!
