    Can anyone explain how the reserve is calculated in the formula?

    What does it mean?

    Thanks.

    The reserve is the PV of the future payments we expect to make (ie the annuity payments) calculated on the reserving basis.

    For 100 premium, expenses are 5%. So on pricing basis where you need 11.39 to buy an annuity of £1 pa, £100 premium will buy an annuity of (100 - 5) / 11.39 = X

    The reserve we need to hold for that annuity is 12.85X, since on reserving basis we need 12.85 for every £1 annuity.
