V_A. function

Reserve for Life Insurance

Calculates the reserve for the life insurance up to the moment 't'.

  x,
  h,

Arguments

• px: A numeric value. The value of the premium paid in each period.
• x: An integer. The age of the insuree.
• h: An integer. The deferral period.
• n: An integer. Number of years of coverage.
• k: An integer. Number of fractions per year.
• cantprem: An integer. The total number of premiums.
• premperyear: An integer. The number of premiums to be paid per year.
• i: The interest rate. A numeric type value.
• data: A data.frame containing the mortality table, with the first column being the age and the second one, the probability of death.
• prop: A numeric value. It represents the proportion of the mortality table used (between 0 and 1).
• assumption: A character string. The assumption used for fractional ages ("UDD" for uniform distribution of deaths, "constant" for constant force of mortality and "none" if there is no fractional coverage)
• cap: A numeric type value. The value of the payment.
• t: An integer. The moment of valuation (in months if it is a fractional coverage or in years if it is not).

Returns

A data frame with Premium, Risk, 1/E and reserve values up to the moment t.
