Objective of the workpaper
Record the coverage period of each contract of the group, the variability expected in the flows and the participation clauses. Judge the eligibility for the premium allocation approach, then for the variable fee approach. For an eligible group, compute the initial liability, the revenue of the period (allocation over time: case assumption) and the closing liability, then record the entries.
