When the annual premium is thus paid by instalments a deduction is made from the sum assured equivalent to the value of the unpaid instalments due in the year of death.

  1. Since 1 = (Px+d)ax = (Px+1+d)ax+1

and   ax = ax -1= vpxax+1

1   1

 

we have Px+1=Px+(Px—vox) =Px+(Px+1—z'4x)—

ax   ax

Px (1+i) =4x+px(Px+1—Px)ax+1•

Each of these has a meaning that can be expressed in words.

  1. Consider two lives (x) and (y).

For an assurance payable on the first death, that is when the pair is broken, we have

Pxyax,, =Ax,,.
