Policy Values 73
Policy values can be written down for policies with premiums payable more often than once a year and/or policies where the sum assured is payable at the end of that nzth part of the year in which the death occurs.
Thus n VI') represents the reserve after n years on a whole life policy for 1 due at the end of the year of death where the premiums are payable m times a year, so that

therefore nVxm]=nVx, which should be obvious if n is an integer.
