Mary Pat Campbell, who instructs AFE, recently posted some good advice on taking written exams at the Actuarial Outpost. You may want to check it out.
Good luck getting through the home stretch. It’ll be over soon!
Solution has a typo: discounting by 5%, so the denominator is 1.05 (not 1.04). All values are correct, however.
PV(Guar Ben) = [100000 x q60 v + 1p60 v x 75,000 A61 ]
= (100000 x 0.01618 /1.05 + (1 – .01618)/1.05 x 75 x 468.77]
= 34,482.76

Please note that you can access the US seminar using the link in “My Stuff.” All of the additional drill problems that Jeremy and Anita posted from their live seminar are relevant to the Canadian exam with the exception of the section F problems. Be sure to check these out for additional practice.

We have posted all of the handouts from the live seminar. We also posted more problems (practice problems + drill problems).
This includes:
Analysis of 8I exam questions
Practice problems (12) + More practice problems (5)
Drill problems–25 more
Examples from sections C, D, and F used during the seminar–this is basically another 3 sets of drill problems. Especially useful for those of you who did not attend the live seminar
Hope your studying is going well.

There were some errors in the solution to problem 14 part a.
In the chart, PV#1 at hurdle rate, year 4, is 4.79 (not 4.29). That was a typo. All the answers used the 4.79 value.
When calculating the embedded value for product 2, all the calculations are correct. However, in my explanation I typed 1.06 instead of 1.12. Sorry.
Anita
There was an error in the solution to Drill problem B.10:
Stat Income(t) = Stat Income(1) + i x Stat Surplus(t-1)
The correct table is:
| PY | Stat Surplus | GAAP Equity | Stat Income | DAC | GAAP Income | Dividends | ROE |
| 0 | 0 | 3,500 | 3,500 | ||||
| 1 | 1000 | 3927 | 1,000 | 2,927 | 427 | 0 | 12.2% |
| 2 | 2100 | 4396 | 1100 | 2,296 | 469 | 0 | 12.0% |
| 3 | 3310 | 4912 | 1210 | 1,602 | 516 | 0 | 11.7% |
| 4 | 4641 | 5480 | 1331 | 839 | 568 | 0 | 11.6% |
| 5 | 6105 | 6105 | 1464 | 0 | 625 | 0 | 11.4% |
Canadian exam only:
Please note that there is an error in the solution to #3 in the Canadian drill problems for section F. The NCPI for years 2 and 3 should be 1791 and 2075, respectively. This changes the following values:
We will be posting the corrected solution on the seminar site soon.
The section D outline has been updated to remove SN 108 (Asset & Liability Management) which was dropped from the syllabus. (There was no video for that SN.) I just forgot to delete it from my outline.

The solution to problem 7 in Drill Problems Section F has been corrected. There were 2 typos.
