Your company is competing to sell a life annuity-due with an actuarial present value of 500,000 to a 50-year-old individual. Based on your company’s experience, typical 50- year-old annuitants have a complete life expectancy of 25 years. However, this individual is not as healthy as your company’s typical annuitant, and your medical experts estimate that his complete life expectancy is only 15 years. You decide to price the benefit using the issue age that produces a complete life expectancy of 15 years. You also assume: − For typical annuitants of all ages, mortality follows De Moivre’s Law with the same limiting age, w. − i = 0.06 Calculate the annual benefit that your company can offer to this individual.

A local machine shop buys hex nuts and molly screws from the same supplier. Thehex nuts cost 15 cents each and the molly screws cost 38 cents each. A setup costof $100 is assumed for all orders. This includes the cost of tracking and receivingthe orders. Holding costs are based on a 25 percent annual interest rate. The shopuses an average of 20,000 hex nuts and 14,000 molly screws annually.b. If both items are ordered and received simultaneously, the setup cost of $100applies to the combined order. Compare the average annual cost of holding andsetup if these items are ordered separately; if they are both ordered when the hexnuts would normally be ordered; and if they are both ordered when the mollyscrews would normally be ordered.
