Description: This paper develops the theoretical formula for the face amount under the New York Life variable life insurance design, introduced in the paper 'Analysis of Basic Actuarial Theory for Fixed Premium Variable Benefit Life Insurance,' adapted to a daily basis and also provides a simplified approximation of this formula. A formula for daily net premium is also derived.

Description: Variable life insurance asset shares involve, in general, both the separate account and the general account. This paper develops, for both accounts, under the New York Life design, the annual asset share equations of equilibrium for the separate account asset share, for the general account asset share, for the basic reserve, and for the surplus and also derives the individual expressions for the interest and mortality contributions to the surplus. Followed by discussion papers submitted by several authors.

Description: This paper develops explicit relationships connecting these reserve bases, and, in the course of this development, derives several new and interesting actuarial relationships, all of which can be generalized to the case of monthly premium payment computations. Followed by a discussion paper submitted
