You are given:
a. A death benefit of $450 is paid at the end of the year in which
the policy
holder dies
b. The annual interest rate is 5%
c. Mortality is given by q 35+t = 0.02+0.01t
Calculate the value of a 3 year term life insurance for a 35 year
old.
Given, the death benefit is $ 450 which is paid at the end of the year in which the policy holder dies.
The current age of the policy holder is 35 years.
The annual interest rate is i = 5%
the discount rate is v = 1 / (1 + i) = 1.05-1
The mortality rate is q35 + t = 0.02 + 0.01 * t
The value of a 3 year term life insurance for a 35 year old is
PV = (450 * q35 * v) + (450 * p35 * q36 * v2) + (450 * 2p35 * q37 * v3)
= (450 * q35 + 0 * v) + (450 * (1 - q35 + 0) * q35 + 1 * v2) + (450 * (1 - q35 + 0) * (1 - q35 + 1) * q35 + 2 * v3)
= (450 * 0.02 * 1.05-1 ) + (450 * (1 - 0.02) * (0.02 + 0.01 * 1) * 1.05-2) + (450 * (1 - 0.02) * (1 - (0.02 + 0.01 * 1)) * (0.02 + 0.01 * 2) * 1.05-3)
= 8.5714 + 12 + 14.7810
PV = 35.3524
So, the required value is $ 35.35.
