LIFE ANNUITIES.
the end of n years, multiplied by the chance of the life living n years,
and the remaining part of the expression is the present value of an
annuity on a life aged m+n years ; hence the following
Rule. Find the value of an annuity on a life older by the number
of years the annuity is to be deferred, than the present age ; multiply it
by the present value of due at the end of that term, and by the
chance of the life surviving that term.

This formula, when we have tables calculated of the description men
tioned in Art. 115, points out a very short method of calculating the
values of deferred annuities ; for the number in column N, opposite the
age (m+n) at which the annuity is to be entered upon, is the nume
rator of the fraction, and the number in column D, opposite the present
age (m) is the denominator of the fraction; the formula by Davies’s
method is therefore
136. Rule, Divide the number in column N, opposite the age at which
the annuity will be entered upon, by the number in column D opposite
the present age.
When the annuity depends on the joint existence of any number of
lives respectively aged rn, mi, , &c., the probability of their jointly
surviving the term must evidently be substituted for the probability of
one life surviving, i.e.

TEMPORARY ANNUITIES.
137. Let the present value of an annuity to continue the next n years
provided any number of lives aged m, m t , w 2 , &c., continue jointly to
exist during that term, be denoted by a Xmt mj> mi , &c>) . As the value
of an annuity to continue for the next n years, together with the value
of an annuity which is to be entered upon at the expiration of n years,
and then continue during the remaining time of joint existence, is evi
dently equal to the value of the annuity on the lives for the whole period
of joint existence, to be entered on immediately, we have the equation ;
