AExn: Function to evaluate the n-year endowment insurance

Description

This function evaluates the n-year endowment insurance.

Usage

AExn(actuarialtable, x, n, i=actuarialtable@interest,  k = 1, type = "EV", power=1)

Value

A numeric value.

Arguments

actuarialtable

An actuarial table object.

x

Insured age.

n

Length of the insurance.

i

Rate of interest. When missing the one included in the actuarialtable object is used.

k

Frequency of benefit payment.

type

A string, either "EV" for expected value of the actuarial present value (default) or "ST" for one stochastic realization of the underlying present value of benefits. Alternatively, one can use "expected" or "stochastic" respectively (can be abbreviated).

power

The power of the APV. Default is 1 (mean)

Author
