Zusammenfassung:In the previous paper, the authors gave a historical development of the equation 1=ia^sub x^+(1+i)A^sub x^, showing that 1 consists of whole life annuity a^sub x^ and insurance A^sub x^ components. People used the symbol "1" to denote the natural number 1, but "1" also could be interpreted as one unit, such as one dollar or one million dollars. In this paper, the authors provide additive and multiplicative decompositions of 1. Additive decompositions have remainder payments made to survivors or heirs. Multiplicative decompositions do not have residual payments. They decompose three types of annuities: 1. an ordinary term annuity and a fixed-term tontine with, and without, residual payments, 2. whole life annuities with, and without, residual payments, and 3. a generalization of 1=ia ^sub x^+(1+i)A^sub x^ into a temporary life annuity, term insurance, and a pure endowment. The basic idea for this paper may be understood by asking the question:about the streams of future payments 1 can generate.
