At A2, you're doing 2 years, so you raise (1.25) to T=2. At A3, it's the following year, so your T from year 2 to 3 is 1. So, you raise (1.25) to T=1, but that's the same as (1.25). Same for the following year, you're going forward 1 year, so you raise (1.25) to T=1, but you don't need to write that because (1.25)^1 is just (1.25)
SOA clarifies Time Value of Money better than any Finance class. Great lecture!
IS THE VALUATION DATE THE SAME AS PRESENT VALUE DATE
Thanks
Welcome
In the valuation date example, why A2- is (1.25)^2 but A3- and A4- is (1.25)?
