Two death benefit schedules add pathwise.

Mathematical relation:

Zb+c(k)=Zb(k)+Zc(k)Z_{b+c}(k)=Z_b(k)+Z_c(k)

For this statement, the yearly death event, valuation origin and life-law normalisation follow the stated hypotheses. Death benefits are settled at the end of the policy year, whereas a maturity amount is payable at its anniversary. Every formula represents a currently open formal obligation unless it is a definition.
