Since m, this estimate becomes Question #8 Key: C The following steps would do in this multiple-choice contet:. From the answer choices, this is a recursion for an insurance or pure endowment.. Only C and E would satisfy u(7).. + i u k u k 3. It is not E. The recursion for a pure endowment is simpler: ( ) ( ) 4. Thus, it must be C. More rigorously, transform the recursion to its backward equivalent, u k in terms of u k : ( ) ( ) q + i u k pk pk p u k q i u k u k vq vp u k k ( ) + u( k ) k ( ) k + ( + ) ( ) ( ) + ( ) k k pk This is the form of (a), (b) and (c) on page 9 of Bowers with k. Thus, the recursion could be: MLC

7 or or A vq + vp A + y : + : y A vq vp A + A vq + vp A + y : : y Condition (iii) forces it to be answer choice C ( ) u k A fails at 69 since it is not true that ( ) A vq vp ( )() u k A : y fails at 69 since it is not true that 69: A vq + vp ( ) : ( )() u k A is OK at 69 since 69: y A vq + vp ( )() Note: While writing recursion in backward form gave us something eactly like page 9 of Bowers, in its original forward form it is comparable to problem 8.7 on page 5. Reasoning from that formula, with π h and bh+, should also lead to the correct answer. MLC

17 Question #8 Key: D This solution looks imposing because there is no standard notation. Try to focus on the big picture ideas rather than starting with the details of the formulas. Big picture ideas:. We can epress the present values of the perpetuity recursively.. Because the interest rates follow a Markov process, the present value (at time t ) of the future payments at time t depends only on the state you are in at time t, not how you got there. 3. Because the interest rates follow a Markov process, the present value of the future payments at times t and t are equal if you are in the same state at times t and t. Method : Attack without considering the special characteristics of this transition matri. Let k s state you are in at time k ( thus s, or ) k Let Y k present value, at time k, of the future payments. Y k is a random variable because its value depends on the pattern of discount factors, which are random. The epected value of Y k is not constant; it depends on what state we are in at time k. Recursively we can write ( ) Yk v Y k + +, where it would be better to have notation that indicates the v s are not constant, but are realizations of a random variable, where the random variable itself has different distributions depending on what state we re in. However, that would make the notation so comple as to mask the simplicity of the relationship. Every time we are in state we have E Yk sk.95 + E Yk+ sk ( ) ( {( E Yk+ sk+ ) ) ( k+ sk ]) + ( E Yk+ sk+ ) Prob( sk+ sk ] ) ( E Yk+ sk+ ) Prob sk+ sk ].95 + Pr ob s ( E Yk+ sk+ ).95 + ( )} MLC

18 That last step follows because from the transition matri if we are in state, we always move to state one period later. Similarly, every time we are in state we have E Yk sk.93 ( + E Yk+ sk ).93 ( + E Yk+ sk+ ) That last step follows because from the transition matri if we are in state, we always move to state one period later. Finally, every time we are in state we have E Yk sk.94 ( + E Yk+ sk ).94 + E Yk+ sk+ Pr sk+ sk + E Yk+ sk+ Pr sk+ sk } ( { ) ( { E Yk+ sk+ E Yk+ sk+ }) Those last two steps follow from the fact that from state we always go to either state (with probability.9) or state (with probability.). Now let s write those last three paragraphs using this shorter notation: n E Yk sk n. We can do this because (big picture idea #3), the conditional epected value is only a function of the state we are in, not when we are in it or how we got there. ( ) ( ) ( ) That s three equations in three unknowns. Solve (by substituting the first and third into the second) to get 6.8. That s the answer to the question, the epected present value of the future payments given in state. The solution above is almost eactly what we would have to do with any 3 3 transition matri. As we worked through, we put only the non-zero entries into our formulas. But if for eample the top row of the transition matri had been (.4.5. ), then the first of our three equations would have become.95( ), similar in structure to our actual equation for. We would still have ended up with three linear equations in three unknowns, just more tedious ones to solve. Method : Recognize the patterns of changes for this particular transition matri. MLC

19 This particular transition matri has a recurring pattern that leads to a much quicker solution. We are starting in state and are guaranteed to be back in state two steps later, with the same prospective value then as we have now. Thus, EY EY first move is to Pr first move is to + EY first move is to Pr first move is to [ ] [ ] [ ] ( ( EY [ ]) ( ( EY [ ]) (Note that the equation above is eactly what you get when you substitute and into the formula for in Method.)

If she solves eactly two, there is a /3 probability that she solved #3. If she solves #3 or more, she got #3. f().353 f().77 f().77 P (.77) + (.77) + ( ) MLC

One possibility would be 3V4 + ( P4 P4), because prospectively after duration 3, this differs from the normal benefit reserve in that in the net year you collect P 4 instead of P 4. MLC
