Exercise
Answer
Answer: A
This first solution recognizes that the full preliminary term reserve at the end of year 10 for a 30 year endowment insurance on (40) is the same as the net premium policy value at the end of year 9 for a 29 year endowment insurance on (41). Then, using superscripts of FPT for full preliminary term reserve and NLP for net premium policy value to distinguish the symbols, we have
or [math]=1000\left(1-\frac{\ddot{a}_{50: 201}}{\ddot{a}_{41: 29}}\right)=1000\left(1-\frac{12.8428}{15.6640}\right)=180[/math]
where
Alternatively, working from the definition of full preliminary term reserves as having [math]{ }_{1} V^{F P T}=0[/math] and the discussion of modified net premium reserves in the Notation and Terminology Study Note, let [math]\alpha[/math] be the valuation premium in year 1 and [math]\beta[/math] be the valuation premium thereafter. Then (with some of the values taken from above),
[math]\alpha=1000 v q_{40}=0.5019[/math]
APV (valuation premiums) [math]=[/math] APV (benefits)
[math]\alpha+{ }_{1} E_{40}\left(\ddot{a}_{41: 29)}\right) \beta=1000 A_{40: 30}[/math]
[math]0.5019+0.95188(15.6640) \beta=242.37[/math]
[math]\beta=\frac{242.37-0.5019}{14.9102}=16.22[/math]
Where
