Tutorial 1 (Intro to Pension)
1. An employee is now aged 40. His current annual salary rate is RM35,000. Assume that
he would still be employed at age 55, and the salary growth is governed by the annual
salary rate function
𝑠̄𝑥 = 𝑒 0.04(𝑥−25) ,for 𝑥 ≥ 25
(a) Calculate the annual salary rate at age 45.5.
(b) Calculate the salary for the year of age 45 to 46.
2. An employee is now aged 40. His current annual salary rate is RM35,000. Assume that
he would still be employed at age 60, and the salary growth is governed by the annual
salary rate function
𝑠̄𝑥 = 𝑒 0.04(𝑥−25) ,for 25 ≤ 𝑥 < 50
𝑠̄𝑥 = 𝑒 1+0.02(𝑥−50) ,for 50 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 60
Calculate the salary for the year of age 48 to 54.
3. An employee is now aged 40 exact. His current annual salary rate is RM35,000. Each
year his rate of salary increases by 4%, 4 months after his birthday and then remains
constant for a year.
(a) Calculate the annual salary rate at age 45.5.
(b) Calculate the salary for the year of age 45 to 46.
4. An employee is now aged 25 exact. His current annual salary rate is RM28,000. Each
year his rate of salary increases by 3%, 8 months after his birthday and then remains
constant for a year. Assume the employee remains in employment until at least age 60.
(a) Calculate the annual salary rate at age 58.
(b) Calculate the yearly average salary for the year of age 57 to 60.

(a) A life aged exactly 45 at the valuation date receives RM150,000 in salary in the
year to the valuation date. Calculate his predicted average salary in his last 5 years
of working if he plans to retire at age 60.
(b) A life aged exactly 35 at the has a current salary rate of RM75,000. Estimate his
salary between ages 55 and 56. Assume the life remains in employment until at
least age 56 and salaries are revised continuously.
(c) A life aged exactly 35 at the has a current salary rate of RM100,000. Estimate his
annual rate of salary at age 60. Assume the life remains in employment until at
