    Hi,

    Am doing Q&A Bank Part 1.

    For Q.1.16, solution has mentioned that Increase In Yields , will have no change to the dividend if the existing liabilities are well matched by fixed interest.

    I could not get the logic here (i am dumb). Anyone kind to explain it with a numerical example by refering to its formula?

    For reference:

    Dividend = (V0 + P)*(i''-i) + (q-q'')(S-V1) + [E(1+i)-E"(1+i")]

    where V = Value of contract
    i" = actual rate of interest
    i = expected rate of interest
    S = Sum Assured
    E", E = Actual and Expected expenses
    q",q = Actual and Expected mortality

    Anyone please? Thanks in advance
