1 Chapter 4. Life Insurance. Section 4.9. Computing APV s from a life table. Extract from: Arcones Manual for the SOA Exam MLC. Fall 2009 Edition. available at 1/29

2 Computing APV s from a life table Usually, survival functions do not have an analytical form. In this section, we will consider the computation of some of the present values of life insurance products using a life table. Suppose that l x is known whenever x is a nonnegative integer. Then, we can find np x, whenever x and n are integers. Assuming a uniform distribution of deaths over each year of death, K(x) and S x = T x K(x) are independent r.v. s and S x has a distribution uniform on (0, 1). Hence, K x and S x are independent r.v. s and T x = K(x) + S x = K x + S x 1. 2/29

3 Theorem 1 Assume a uniform distribution of deaths over each year of death. Suppose that b t, t 0, is constant in each interval (k 1, k], k = 1, 2,.... Then, E[b Tx ν Tx ] = E[b Kx ν Kx ] i δ. 3/29

4 Theorem 1 Assume a uniform distribution of deaths over each year of death. Suppose that b t, t 0, is constant in each interval (k 1, k], k = 1, 2,.... Then, E[b Tx ν Tx ] = E[b Kx ν Kx ] i δ. Proof: Since S x has a distribution uniform on (0, 1), so has 1 S x. So, E[ν Sx 1 ] = E[e δ(1 Sx ) ] = 1 0 e δt dt = eδ 1 δ = i δ. Hence, E[b Tx ν Tx ] = E[b Kx ν Tx ] = E[b Kx ν Kx +Sx 1 ] =E[b Kx ν Kx ]E[ν Sx 1 ] = E[b Kx ν Kx ] i δ 4/29

5 Theorem 1 Assume a uniform distribution of deaths over each year of death. Suppose that b t, t 0, is constant in each interval (k 1, k], k = 1, 2,.... Then, E[b Tx ν Tx ] = E[b Kx ν Kx ] i δ. The factor i δ has a life table interpretation. Suppose that a death happens during the k th year. Under the discrete life insurance a benefit payment of one is made at time k. Under the continuous life insurance and an uniform distribution of deaths, this death can happen uniformly on the interval [k 1, k]. So, for each dollar paid at time k in the discrete case, we get a continuous cashflow of a unit rate over the interval [k 1, k] in the continuous case. The present value at time k of this continuous cashflow is s 1 i = (1 + i)1 1 = i δ δ. 5/29

6 Theorem 2 Assuming a uniform distribution of deaths, we have that: (i) A x = i δ A x. (ii) A 1 x:n = i δ A1 x:n. (iii) n A x = i δ n A x. (iv) A x:n = i δ A1 x:n + A x:n 1. Proof: (i) We apply Theorem 1 with b t = 1, t 0. We have that A x = E[ν Tx ] = E[b Tx ν Tx ] and A x = E[ν Kx ] = E[b Kx ν Kx ]. (ii) We apply Theorem 1 with b t = I (t n), t 0. We have that A 1 x:n = E[I (T x n)ν Tx ] = E[b Tx ν Tx ] and A 1 x:n = E[I (K x n)ν Kx ] = E[b Kx ν Kx ]. (iii) We apply Theorem 1 with b t = I (t > n), t 0. (iv) A x:n = A 1 x:n + A 1 x:n = i δ A1 x:n + A x:n 1. 6/29

23 To calculate actuarial present values for life insurance paid at the end of the m thly interval of interval, we also need to interpolate life tables. Theorem 4 Assuming a uniform distribution of deaths, we have that: (i) A (m) x = i A i (m) x. (m) (ii) A1 x:n = (iii) n A (m) x = i (iv) A (m) x:n = i i (m) A 1 x:n. i n A (m) x. i A 1 i (m) x:n + A x:n 1. 23/29

24 i The factor has a life table interpretation. Suppose that i (m) l x+k l x+k+1 deaths happens during the k th year and (l x+k l x+k+1 ) is multiple of m. Under the discrete annual life insurance the total benefit payment made at time k is l x+k l x+k+1. Under a uniform distribution of deaths, l x+k l x+k+1 [ m ] deaths happen in each of the intervals k 1 + j 1 m, k 1 + j m, j = 1,..., m. The cashflow of payments under the m th ly plan is l x+k l x+k+1 l x+k l x+k+1 l x+k l x+k+1 l x+k l x+k+1 m Payments m m m Time k m k m k m k 1 + m m The present value at time k of this cashflow is (l x+k l x+k+1 )s (m) 1 i = (l x+k l x+k+1 ) (1 + i)1 1 i (m) m We get that the present value under the m th ly plan is s (m) 1 i times the present value under the annual plan. = (l x+k l x+k+1 ) i i (m) = i i (m) 24/29
