PURCHASE OF ANNUITIES, &c.
244. To find the annuity to be required on a single life for a certain
amount of purchase money, so as to allow the purchaser a given rate of
interest beside the premium necessary to secure his capital by a life
assurance :
Let s = the sum,
i = annual interest of £l,
p — annual premium for assurance of £l,
a = the annuity.
If we assume £l to be the sum advanced, and the annuity to be pay
able at the end of the year, the last year’s interest must be assured in
addition to the principal, viz. (l + i), the annual premium for which is
p(l + 2>), which, subtracted from £l, leaves
1—p(l-fi)=: the available principal,
