    Firstly, note I am referring to the original mock A sent out in the "before times". I stupidly forgot that there was a revised version.

    In the solutions to question 3(ii), it gives the death benefit component of the PV RV as (K[35]+1)v^(T[35]) for T[35]=< 30.
    I think this should be for T[35]< 30, since if T[35]= 30 then K[35] = 0 also and so we end up with a benefit of 31 being paid.

    I had the death benefit paid for T[35]< 30 and the survival benefit paid for T[35]>= 30. What is wrong with my reasoning?

    That's an excellent spot! Thank you for pointing this out. I agree with you - the death benefit should be paid for T[35]< 30 and the survival benefit paid for T[35]>= 30. I'll get this fixed in our next version of the mock (if we end up reverting to the "before times" version).
