"(d) METHOD OF COMPUTING RESERVES ON CONTRACT WHERE INTEREST Is GUARANTEED BEYOND END OF TAXABLE YEAR.—For purposes

of this part (other than section 816), amounts in the nature of interest to be paid or credited under any contract for any period which is computed at a rate which— "(1) exceeds the prevailing State assumed interest rate for the contract for such period, and "(2) is guaranteed beyond the end of the taxable year on which the reserves are being computed, shall be taken into account in computing the reserves with respect to such contract as if such interest were guaranteed only up to the end of the taxable year. "(e) SHORT TAXABLE YEARS.—If any return of a corporation made under this part is for a period of less than the entire calendar year (referred to in this subsection as 'short period'), then section 443 shall not apply in respect to such period, but life insurance company taxable income shall be determined, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, on an annual basis by a ratable daily projection of the appropriate figures for the short period.
