Questions and CORRECT Answers
Autumn Assurance Group has assets at fair value of $100 million.
The present value of Autumn's liabilities is $85 million. The market
value margin is $5 million. Using probability models, Autumn
determines that its VaR is $8 million because it expects to incur an
$8 million or greater loss of capital at a .5 percent probability over

Autumn's economic capital is $8 million. The VaR is $8 million at the threshold determined
by Autumn.
Autumn's MVS of $10 million is larger than its economic capital of $8 million. Therefore,
Autumn has excess capital. of $2 million.
