Question:

During 2014, 30% of the £15m US property premium income was written through binding authorities. During 2015, this increased to 50% of the £18m US property premium income.
All binding authorities incept on the 1 July annually.
(iii) Calculate, showing all your workings, the unearned premium reserve for the US property business as at 31 December 2015, stating any assumptions made.
