    Say for example a hypothetical super simple insurance company received premium of $100, which they expect PV of future claim to be $92.

    DR Bank $100
    CR Income $100

    DR P&L Expense - Claim provision $92
    CR Balance Sheet Liability - Claim provision $92

    Ending result: $8 profit.

    Then their $100 earn $5 profit.

    DR Bank $5
    CR Income $5

    Total profit : $13.

    But the claim at $92 is understated because it is PV; if it is not discounted it might be , say $102?
