    Hi,

    I am really struggling with how they got their Death Cost (in the table) "29,500.15" and in (ii)(c) "34,824.60".

    Would be good if someone could give me some pointers!

    The method i have tried is (Sum Assured) 40,000 * q[60], but that is 230.96!

    Thanks

    It's because we are assuming that they die, so you don't need the q probability.

    The death cost is what we need to pay less what we have:

    £40,000 - £10,499.85

    Good luck!
