Whle you are permtted to use a calculator to perform arthmetc and/or exponental calculatons, you must not use the calculator to calculate such actuaral functons as a n, s n, (Ia) n, (Is) n, (Da) n, (Ds) n, etc. wthout frst statng a formula for the value of the functon n terms of exponentals and/or polynomals nvolvng n and the nterest rate. You must not use your calculator n any programmed calculatons. If your calculator has memores, you are expected to have cleared them before the examnaton. 4. Ths examnaton booklet conssts of ths cover, Pages 1 through 7 contanng questons; and Pages 8 and 9, whch are blank. For all problems you are expected to show all your work, and to smplfy algebrac and numercal answers as much as you can. All solutons are to be wrtten n the space provded on the page where the queston s prnted. When that space s exhausted, you may wrte on the facng page. Any soluton may be contnued on the last pages, or the back cover of the booklet, but you must ndcate any contnuaton clearly at the bottom of the page where the queston s prnted! You may do rough work anywhere n the booklet. 5. You are advsed to spend the frst few mnutes scannng the problems. (Please nform the nvglator f you fnd that your booklet s defectve.) 6. Several useful formulas are prnted on page 3. You should not assume that any of these formulas s/are requred n the soluton of any of the problems on ths examnaton.
