With whole life policies, the size of the cash value varies inversely with the length of the premium
paying period. Thus, the ordinary life plan with payments for life has the lowest cash values, and
the single-premium plan has the highest. After premium payments cease under the 10 payment
and 20 payment WL plans, the cash values in each instance equal those under the single premium
plan for policies using the same underlying pricing assumptions. This must be the case, as after
the limited-payment period expires, the value to the company of future premiums is zero and all
future mortality costs must be covered from existing funds and interest credited thereon.
