hi,
I couldn't get this thing, I hope somebody could help me out. So the questions are
1.) on page 25 just below Q 5.13, they demonstrate the equality of prospective and retrospective reserves using an example, now since both these reserves consider expenses as a future out go, but they have used net premiums for calculating value of income, we know that net premium when it is being calculated doesn't make an allowance for expenses, then why are we using net premium in our calculations of these reserves, and why not the actual premium that we would receive ?
2.) The definition of net reserves talks about considering notional premium for calculation of net premium reserve and the notional premium is calculated using the reserve basis so my questions are :
a.) is notional premium any different from net premium?
b.) what does reserve basis mean here?
