Exam 7 Practice Question 7

Study guide: Exam 7

A primary insurer estimates the losses it cedes to reinsurers. Determine which of the following statements about estimating its ceded losses are true.

  • I. Because surplus share is a form of proportional reinsurance, the age-to-age factors for gross, ceded and net losses on a surplus share treaty are identical, as they are on a quota share.

  • II. The insurer analyzes gross losses by accident year. If the ceded percentage of a risks-attaching quota share treaty changes, the new percentage applies to all losses with accident dates after the change.

  • III. Stop-loss reinsurance typically applies after all other reinsurance, so the losses ceded to it are measured on the insurer's net result after those other covers.

  • A) I only

  • B) I and II only

  • C) I and III only

  • D) II and III only

  • E) The answer is not given by (A), (B), (C), or (D)
