[A056]
With respect to insurance company operations, actuarial calculations are used to predict or determine the necessary rate, premium, expense, and reserve levels, etc., needed to accomplish goals. When the actual results are better than those set or predicted, actuarial gains are achieved; and when results are worse than those set or predicted, losses are experienced.
