Anyone here took 8F before? Q11 of 8F 2005, is it still related to this year's syllabus?

I think the 11(f) part says something about learning objective 2(j), although in my opinion, it did not say too much about it. In fact, where can we find any list regarding 2(j)??? and what about the other part of the question???

I'm wondering about #11 also. I couldn't figure out most of the parts of the question since they seemed somewhat obscure. I'm wondering if the leverage calculation is something we should be responsible for...

I did get f...there are multiple discussions on the syllabus about what to do with excess capital, although Chew goes through most of them in one of the chapters.

ETA: how do you know the objective is 2j? I don't see anything in the solution published on the SOA page...

Hi Yanz, the solution 11(f) simply lists three ways to deploy a firm's excess capital and Learning objective 2(j) asks us to describe potential uses of excess capital. However 11(f) solution did not go too detail on this topic.

You said Chew discussed this a lot in one chapter. Which one is it?

well, if you read the objective, it lists 3 uses of capital right there.
I have a note next to the objective of something useful being on D8 of Actex, so try that.

thank you. As to debt retirement, i think it lowers the chance of bankruptcy. As to reinvesting in new business, i would say retained earnings is the cheapest funding source. well, something like this which just jumped out of my mind.

Any new thoughts?
