Hey guys. A friend of mine is preparing for giving grp 2 in november. And he faced a problem while going through the topics of Financial Statements of Insurance Companies.

If you guys can plzz help me out. When we are attempting questions regarding Premiums,

like its given in the question that

Premium - 100000

Reinsurance Premium- 20000

now in this case wat do i assume? I mean is this reinsurance premium ceeded or accepted??

In one book i saw that they have assumed it to be ceeded. But still they haven't given any explanation. So i need a confirmation before i can form an opinion. plzz help.

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies. I don't wanna offned any1, but I really need a confirmation. Two of you have given me different answers.

Krishna even i thought it should be reinsurance accepted. But in that book they have taken it as ceded. But they haven't given any working note or any note to say that. They have jst shown how Premium Earned(Net) wil be calculated. So they deducted 20000 from 100000.

And yash i agree wid u but i still wanna be sure. Becuase there is no guidance from our institute and when such a question comes in exam they will tell us that i was a little tricky, even though there is no trick. Its just a matter of taking the right assumption.
