Abstract

Monotone upper and lower bounds are found for the lifetime distribution of a company, the first two moments of the lifetime, different probabilities of ruin, and the expected dividend payments during the lifetime. The results are applied to the problem of maximizing the expected dividend payments subject to an acceptable minimal expected life.
