Marginal and Cumulative Mortality Rate EquationTotal value of defaulting debt in year (t)
total value of the population at the start of the year (t)MMR(t) =
MMR = Marginal Mortality Rate
One can measure the cumulative mortality rate (CMR) over a specific time period (1,2,…, T years) by subtracting the product of the surviving populations of each of the
previous years from one (1.0), that is,
CMR(t) = 1 - Π SR(t) ,t = 1
here CMR (t) = Cumulative Mortality Rate in (t),SR (t) = Survival Rate in (t) , 1 - MMR (t)

To demonstrate that specific management tools which work are available in crisis situations
To illustrate that predictive models can be turned “inside out” and used as internal management tools to, in effect, reverse their predictions
To illustrate an interactive, as opposed to a passive, approach to financial decision making
