I do not believe you would be required to memorize this. There are too many other important RBC topics. It's possible you'd be asked to calculate R0 for a simple case and the examples on the main RBC page are representative of that.
The source text states that R0 using the market method has 2 components:
- R0 component
- R2 component
In the table below, I've labelled these as "A" and "B".
R0 (common stocks) using market method = A + B - where
- A = min[ affiliate RBC x (ownership% of common stock) , (statutory surplus of affiliate) x (ownership% of common stock)
- If (affiliate RBC) x ownership% of common stock > (value of common stock as recorded by reporting entity) then
- B = (value of common stock as recorded by reporting entity) - A ← cannot be less than 0
- Otherwise calculate B like this:
- B = MAX[ (value of common stock as recorded by reporting entity) - 22.5% x (pro-rata statutory surplus of affiliate),
- (affiliate RBC) x (ownership% of common stock ) - A ] ← cannot be less than 0
