Multiple Choice

Which of the following correctly lists a component of Schedule P?

Schedule P is about how loss and LAE reserves have developed over time, showing different views of the same loss experience. The best choice lays out four parts: Part 1 presents loss and LAE experience as of year-end; Part 2 shows historical net incurred losses and DCC estimates; Part 3 shows historical net paid losses and DCC; and Part 4 shows historical net IBNR for losses and DCC (before tabular discount). This structure gives a complete picture of how incurred amounts evolve into paid amounts and what remains unreported, with the added context of discounting because these amounts span multiple years. The other options mix in things like earned premium, claim counts, or premium data, which aren’t the four components Schedule P is organized around, and they don’t emphasize the incurred-to-paid-to-IBNR progression with DCC adjustments. So the listed four-part structure exactly matches Schedule P’s component design.
