10. Tolerance Permitted (obtained from credibility table)    
11. Adjustment to incurred Claims for Credibility


     Ratio 3 = Ratio 2 + Tolerance



If Ratio 3 is more than benchmark ratio (ratio 1), a refund or credit to premium is not required.



If Ratio 3 is less than the benchmark ratio, then proceed.		    
12. Adjust Incurred Claims =

[Total Earned Premium (line 3, col. a) - Refunds Since Inception (line 6)]

X Ratio 3 (line 11)		    
13. Refund =     Total Earned Premiums (line 3, col a) -

               Refunds Since Inception (line 6) -
