　　以下则是历年真题精选November2004Course8RU（2）——北美精算师考试SOA2014，内容很多，您可分几日滚雪球法去分开记忆。
　　5. (9 points) In order to attract and retain employees in senior positions, NOC wants to

　　introduce terminal funding by providing the options of an insured annuity or a lump sum

　　benefit for the National Oil Full-Time Salaried Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP).

　　The lump sum will be equivalent to the net present value of the after-tax annual SRP

　　benefit. The after-tax payment from the insured annuity will be equal to the after-tax

　　annual SRP benefit. NOC will reimburse the member for any immediate taxes payable

　　under both options.

　　You are given:

　　? Pat, a senior executive of NOC, will retire with an annual pension under the SRP

　　of $100,000.

　　? The before-tax discount rate used by NOC to calculate lump sum benefits is 10%.

　　? Lump sum annuity factors at Pat’s retirement date are:

　　At a discount rate of 10%: 9.5

　　At a discount rate of 6%: 13.5

　　? The cost of buying Pat’s annuity at retirement is $10 for every $1 of annual

　　benefit purchased.

　　Vosne’s tax rules for single premium annuity contracts are:

　　? The employer obtains a deduction for any premiums it pays;

　　? The executive is immediately taxed on the full purchase price of the annuity;

　　? A proportionate part of each annuity payment would be deemed a tax-free return

　　of the premium (“exclusion ratio”) and the balance is taxable at the individual tax

　　rate. For this purpose, a life expectancy of 20 years is used.

　　(a) Describe the issues that NOC must address in adopting a terminal funding

　　approach.

　　(b) Calculate the cost differential between the two terminal funding options.

　　Show your work.
