Alice's 1st Day

On Alice's first day of work as an actuarial intern, her mean boss dumped a stack of financial statements on her desk and told her to find out whether the company was healthy. But before she could ask him anything, he was already down the hall issuing orders to someone else. "Jackass," she thought. Poor Alice had no idea what to do. Fortunately the intern in the next cubicle overheard and peeked over the cubicle wall.

"Just calculate the RBC ratio," her new friend said. "It's all in Odomirok. He does that to everyone on their first day, but I can help you. Well tackle it together."

So, Alice and her cubicle-mate spent an hour pulling the relevant information from the financial statements and here is what Alice learned.

Formula: RBC ratio = TAC / ACL (sounds like tackle)
TAC = Total Adjusted Capital = 31,024,000
ACL = Authorized Control Level = 5,552,182
==> RBC ratio = 31,024,000 / 5,552,182 = 559%
