N.B. - The age is to be taken as at the next birthday after the date when the right was acquired.

 

Example - Find the present value of an annuity or usufruct of R100 per annum for life of: (A) a female who becomes entitled thereto at the age of 42 years 3 months, or (B) a male who becomes entitled thereto at the age of 65 years 9 months.

N.B. - Fractions of a year are to be disregarded when using this table.

 

Example - Testator, who died on 1 April 1977 left to (A) an annuity or usufruct value R100 per annum, to terminate when (A) attains majority, which will occur, say, at 30 September 1987.  This period is found to be 10 years 6 months, but is taken as 10 years.

 

Present value of R1 per annum for 10 years

= R5,650

Therefore present value of R100 per annum for 10 years

= R565,02
