Question 3
[20 marks]
i. If the force of mortality and force of interest are constant, show that the benefit reserve at the end
of t years for t > 0 for a fully continuous whole life insurance on (x) is 0. (Hint: When force of
mortality and force of interest are constant, Ax = 8+).
ii. For a fully discrete 5-year term insurance of 1 on (50) the annual premium at the beginning of each
year is 0.15. Annual interest rate is 5.00% and qx = 0.2 for all x ≥ 50. Calculate the reserve at the
end of the 4th year by prospective method.
iii. For a triple decrement model you are given µ(1) (t) = 0.02, μ²) (t) = 0.03 and µ³) (t) = 0.05,
t > 0. Calculate probability that (x) will die at age x + 5 due to cause 2.
iv. Consider the following double decrement table.
Age
9(1)
9(2)
30
0.02
0.01
31
0.04
0.03
32
0.05
0.04
Calculate the probability that (30) die between land 3 years due to cause 1.
