Pn-- premium charged by the company per unit of insurance in tariff group n. qn = premium per unit of insurance in tariff group n corresponding to the statistical experience in the said group. Ln ---- The size of the market in tariff group n. If all insurances in the group pay the same premium and if the company is able to cover the whole of its potential market then Ln is equal to the number of policies.
