(a) An temporary annuity provides 100 per year, beginning when the process enters state 1 and stopping when the process leaves state 1. Payments do not resume upon re-entry to state 1. The last possible payment is at the end of 4 years.

(b) A 7-year term insurance pays 100 at the end of the year of the first transfer from state 0 to state 2, provided that that prior to this time there was a transfer from state 1 to state 0. If a transfer from state 0 to state 2 occurs before a transfer from state 1 to state 0, then nothing is paid.
