Study Tips

This SSAP seems more important than some of the others, but it's never been tested (since at least prior to 2012). If you're playing to odds, limit yourself to 1 hour here. I pulled a few factoids from the reading for the BattleCards but you may want to skim the reading in case you have a different opinion on what might be important.

Overview

Types of P&C contracts: occurrence, claims-made, extended reporting

Discounting: when are reserves discounted...

   - when payments are fixed and reasonably determinable (Ex: structured settlements)
     (LAE is not discounted)

Structured Settlements: if an annuity is purchased to fund a structured settlement, describe the accounting treatment...

   - if insurer is the payee ==> no reduction to reserve
   - if claimant is the payee ==> reserves are reduced in the amount that the annuity provides for funding of future payments

Long-Duration Contracts: contracts with terms of at least 13 months and cannot be cancelled or modified by the insurer (Ex: home warranty, mechanical breakdown)

A Calculation Problem

There is a calculation problem embedded in this reading regarding unearned premium reserves for long-duration contracts. I think it's a low-probability question because long-duration contracts is a fairly specialized topic, but if the examiners are looking for a new type of problem, this might be a candidate.

Question: given the information below for a long-duration contract, calculate the unearned premium reserve (UEP)
  • Each "test" is the table is a different estimate of the unearned premium reserve for a particular policy year (PY). We will discuss these tests further but for now, just accept these liability estimates as given.
PY test 1 test 2 test 3

2nd prior 70 75 76
3rd prior 40 38 39
4th prior 10 10 10
