Results of an Investigation into the effect of different valuation bases upon Surplus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 August 2016
Extract
Many investigations have been made in the past to ascertain the surplus, or the bonuses, which would arise with a given valuation basis, from different assumptions as to the actual experience and premiums of an office ; but there is little on record regarding similar efforts which may have been made to see how the surplus year after year would be varied by the introduction of different valuation bases, the other two factors remaining constant.
