    In the solution it is mention that "an initial expenses would not be needed for the valuation"
    I am not able to understand the relevance of this line. Why we do not need to take initial expenses into consideration for valuation

    Hi Mahima

    Reserves are only calculated for contracts that have already been sold. So the initial expenses are in the past and so will not be part of the prospective valuation.

    Best wishes
