I have the following doubts in Ch 16 Anlaysis of Surplus as per Acted 2019 notes,
1. Under Return on Opening surplus section,pg5
"At the end of the year, balance sheet assets will have increased by 1.0% to 2,222 and
liabilities by 0.5% to 2,010."
Please explain why liabilities have increased by 0.5%.
2. Under Economic variance section,pg6,please explain how spread on insurers own assets is 2%-"The company would therefore use a discount rate of 0.5% + (2% – 0.3%) = 2.2% pa"
3.In the numerical on page 11,iii)c),"Expenses during the year have no effect on the liability at the end of the year."
Why would the expenses have no effect?
4.In practice ques 1,iv),
– 1,000 0.004469 10,000 = 5,107,747

4.In practice ques 1,iv),
- please explain why assets are taken as 4090790 everywhere in the asset calculations and not 4.5 m?
– 1,000 0.004469 10,000 = 5,107,747
- Why new value is carried forward?
- And whats the difference if we go from expected to actual vs actual to expected
