Context

Lorvane Assurances SA (fictitious entity) issued on 1 January 20X6 two groups of two-year group protection contracts: group A (the workshop sector) and group B (the shop sector). You prepare the measurement of each group at initial recognition.

Assignment

Initial measurement of groups A and B

Purpose of the workpaper

Record the future flows of the group, the discount rate and the risk adjustment for non-financial risk: they are case data. Discount each flow separately, total the discounted net outflow, add the risk adjustment to obtain the fulfilment cash flows, then derive the margin (never a profit at inception) or the loss of the onerous group. Record the matching entry and write the conclusion.
