“It is an Opportunity to Communicate with Management Using Their Language
1. Why Forecast Loss?A. It enables Risk Managers to effectively
communicate the big picture to management and then to focus on the interventions or actions that can change the outcome
B. It is how insurers/actuaries set pricingC. Credible data is a Risk Manager’s friend and
can (unfortunately) be trusted.

Case Study: Hook’em-Slice’em Industries
Hook’em-Slice’em Industries, manufacturers of golf clubs, is a qualified self-insurer in the State of Minnefornia since January 1, 2004. Minnefornia requires that Hook’em-Slice’em Industries maintain a Letter of Credit (LOC) to secure the liabilities in its self-insured workers compensation program. The outstanding amount of the LOC is set at the lower of 175% of case reserves or 110% of the unpaid losses (case plus IBNR).
Your CFO has asked you to evaluate which of these two methods produces the lowest indicated LOC for the company. The CFO has also asked you to provide an estimate of the expected ultimate losses for 2014 claims for budget analysis.

Case Study: Hook’em-Slice’em Industries
In order to provide this information, you need to calculate the total program reserves as of December 31, 2013, and also to project ultimate losses for 2014 claims based on historical ultimate losses. Due to the short timeframe you have to work under, you have elected to perform these calculations internally, rather than use your outside actuary.
Based on the information contained in the attached sheets and following the methodologies outlined on these sheets, calculate the indicated LOCs as of December 31, 2013 under the two methodologies and project ultimate losses for 2014.

Miscellaneous Information1. Your claims administration firm (TPA) changed as of January 1,
2008. You are confident that reserves are stronger under the new TPA.
2. The State of Minnefornia passed workers compensation reform legislation in 2008 which was expected to lower costs by 10% in 2010.
3. Your self-insured retention (SIR) is $500,000. The SIR has not changed since 2004.
4. Losses are inflating at 4% per year and payroll is inflating at 3% per year

Hook’em-Slice’em Industries Workers Compensation ProgramQuestions to Answer
1. Explain why the loss development factors for 2009 and subsequent appear to be lower than prior years.
What effect might this have on the projections using loss development?
2. Why are no development factors shown for the 2013 year?
3. Discuss how the stronger case reserves under the new administrator could affect the calculation of the LOC using case reserves.
4. What effect will a mis-estimation of the benefit level adjustment have on selected losses for 2010?
