Answer: A

The policy value at duration 2 is [math]{ }_{2} V^{\mathrm{mod}}=1000 A_{62}-\left(P^{\bmod }\right)\left(\ddot{a}_{62}\right)=0[/math]

[math]P^{\mathrm{mod}}=1000 A_{62} / \ddot{a}_{62}=1000(0.31495) / 14.3861=21.89[/math]

[math]{ }_{5} V^{\mathrm{mod}}=1000 A_{65}-\left(P^{\mathrm{mod}}\right)\left(\ddot{a}_{65}\right)=1000(0.35477)-21.89(13.5498)=58[/math]
