The formula to calculate the Expected Loss Ratio (ELR) is:
\[ ELR = \frac{PC}{EP} \times 100 \]
Where:
Let's say the projected claims (PC) are \$50,000 and the earned premiums (EP) are \$100,000. Using the formula:
\[ ELR = \frac{50,000}{100,000} \times 100 = 50\% \]
So, the expected loss ratio (ELR) is 50%.
