    You need to tell me which book you are referring to (and what help you need).

    Hi John

    I am referring to BPP. I am not sure how they figure out the last part where they get the answer 18500 ?

    Could you please explain it.

    The provision at the start of the year was $64,000. They paid claims during the year of $25,000.
    The leaves a balance remaining of $39,000.

    The provision required at the end of the year is $57,500.

    Therefore the increase required is 57,500 – 39,000.
