For an exponential distribution with mean , the claim moment-generating function is for . The calculated adjustment coefficient must solve
Subtract one, divide by the nonzero factor , and obtain . Thus
It belongs to for every , as required by the transform domain. The Poisson intensity cancels because the premium rate is specified using the same relative loading and mean claim cost.
