About this Exam

Prepare with the CAS Exam 7 Practice Questions - CAS Exam 7 Policy Liabilities, Valuation & ERM Exam practice quiz. This question bank includes 100 questions covering capital, insurer, value, mack, and allocation. Use it to review important concepts, identify knowledge gaps, and build confidence for the related exam, course, or assessment.

Sample Questions

Question 1
Which of the following best describes the Mack chain ladder method as a stochastic reserving technique?
A fully parametric model that assumes incremental losses follow a log-normal distribution
A distribution-free model that reproduces chain ladder reserves and supplies prediction error estimates
A Bayesian credibility model that requires prior distributions for each accident year
A bootstrap procedure that simulates pseudo-triangles by resampling unscaled residuals
Question 2
Mack's three core assumptions for the chain ladder model include all of the following EXCEPT:
Expected cumulative losses in column j+1 are proportional to those in column j
Cumulative losses for different accident years are independent
The variance of cumulative losses in column j+1 is proportional to the cumulative loss in column j
Incremental losses are independently and identically log-normally distributed
Question 3
Mack decomposes the mean squared error of the reserve estimate into two components. They are best described as:
Process variance and parameter (estimation) variance
Aleatory uncertainty and demand surge
Tail-factor risk and operational risk
Quantile risk and prior misspecification risk
Question 4
An actuary computes Mack's age-to-age factor variance estimator sigma squared for development period j. Which formula is correct?
sigma squared sub j = (1/(I-j-1)) * sum over i of C sub i,j * (f sub i,j - f hat sub j) squared
sigma squared sub j = (1/(I-j)) * sum over i of (C sub i,j+1 - C sub i,j) squared
sigma squared sub j = mean squared development factor minus one
sigma squared sub j = product of historical age-to-age factors minus the mean
Question 5
When the latest development period only has one observation, Mack's standard variance estimator cannot be computed. The most common practical fix is to:
Set sigma squared for the tail to zero and ignore tail uncertainty
Extrapolate sigma squared sub j using sigma squared sub I-2 squared divided by sigma squared sub I-3
Use the bootstrap variance from the prior development period as a substitute
Replace the tail factor with the industry average from a Schedule P benchmark
