Stat3037/6043 Life Contingencies Questions Week Seven Solutions

This document contains solutions to questions from a life contingencies exam. 1. The first question involves calculating reserves, expected reserves, and the probability of profit for a life annuity. It is found that the expected reserves are $108,081 and the probability of profit is 4.20%. 2. The second question asks to calculate the annual premium, expected present value of benefits and expenses, and policy value after 5 years for a whole life insurance policy paying $60,000 at age 70 and $120,000 otherwise. The annual premium is found to be $3,071.39 and the policy value after 5 years is $12,215. 3. Various calculations are shown using concepts of

QUESTIONS WEEK SEVEN SOLUTIONS


Question 1
(a) Reserve = 1000a 70 = 1000(10.375 1) = 1000(9.375) = 9,375
(b) Per policy in force in three years time the reserve is:
= 100v 2 2 p 63 a&&65
= 100(1.04 2 )

8821.2612
(12.276)
9037.3973

= 1107.84
Now the expected number in force is 100

l 63
9037.3973
= 100
= 97.56
l[60 ]
9263.1422

Hence the expected reserves required to be held are $108,081.


(c) To determine the probability that the office will make a profit first determine the
break-even premium for the annuity.

(ie. $100 paid if death occurs between ages 66 and 67, $200 paid if death occurs between
ages 67 and 68, and $300 paid if survival to at least age 68).
Now the office only makes a profit if the annuitant dies before age 68 since only then
the present value of the payments actually made will be less than the premium of $270.56
paid for the contract.
P ( profit )= 3 q[65] = 1

(d) (i) Approximate probability implies (in this course!) using the normal approximation.
Since the normal approximation means we are assuming a symmetrical distribution of the
payout and hence profit when there is no loading for profit in the premium charged this
will lead to a 50 % approximate probability of profit.
(ii) Under the assumption of normality the profit, Pf, will be distributed normally:
To determine the standard deviation above use the fact that
Var(Payout) = E[(Payout)2] [E(Payout)]2
Now E[(Payout)2] is given by:

74543
Therefore the variance of the payout is 1340.29 on a single policy. (ie 74543-270.562)
Hence on 50 policies the variance is 50*1340.29 = 67014. The standard deviation on 50
policies is 67014 = 258.9.
Pf ~ N(100,253.6) ie normal with mean 100 (50 policies x $2 profit per policy) and
standard deviation 258.9.
So the probability that the profit will exceed zero is given by:
Profit-E(Pf) 0 100

Pr(Profit > 0) = Pr

) = Pr( Z > 0.386) = 0.65 .
= Pr( Z >
258.9
258.9
sd ( Pf )
Alternatively, we could have solved this question by writing:
Pr(Profit > 0) = Pr(50(P+2) > 50C) where P is the risk premium and C is the claim per
policy.
50P + 100 50 C 50C 50 C
= Pr ( 50P + 100 > 50C ) = Pr

Hence,
12.0456P = 36457.46 + 0.110456P + 200
P = $3071.39

(b) At time 5, just before the premium paid, and just after the death benefit paid:

Therefore the policy value is


42588.02 30680 + 306.80
= $12,215.
