Extract

In the first part of this paper, it has been shown to what extent the reserve under a single policy is affected by various methods of graduating the mortality experience on which such reserve is based. We will now endeavour to obtain some notion of the financial effect upon the total reserve made by an office at a periodic valuation of its liabilities.
