True North Insurance has established a waiver-of-premium reserve of $100,000
and will have to pay out an optional life insurance benefit of $200,000. With an
interest rate of 6% compounded annually, how many years will it take for the
reserve of $100,000 to accumulate to $200,000? – ANSWER- 12 years (Use the
relationship between future value and present value to solve for the number of time
periods.
FVt = PV x (1 + r)^t
$200,000 = $100,000 x (1 + 6%)^t
$200,000\/$100,000 = (1.06)^t
2.00 = (1.06)^t
The number of time periods can be approximated using the future value table. With
an interest rate of 6%, it will take 12 years to accumulate to a sum of $200,000 (or
2.01220).)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

four years. Assuming the interest rate is 6% per year compounded semiannually,
what reserve level must be held today to meet this future obligation? – ANSWER-
$118,412: Use the present value formula or present value table to determine the
reserve level.
r = 6%\/2
= 3%
and t = 4 x 2 = 8
PV = $150,000\/(1 + 0.03)^8
PV = $118,412
OR
PV = CF8
= PVIF(3%,8)
PV = $150,000
= 0.78941 [from the present value interest factor (PVIF) table]
= $118,412.
