By the definition of generalized assurances and annuities, the relation 1 = Ās + δās is shown to be the simplest member of a family of relations in which the present value of the capital and interest repayments is equated to the original amount of a loan. When the force of interest is constant over time, the relation takes the simple form above, but when the force is a polynomial in time, the interest payments become a series of annuities, the payments on which increase over time at different rates.
