I can't believe they would consider anything other than the subsidiary's WACC!

Definitely not option D, that doesn't reflect the subsidiary's risk.

Wait, isn't using the publishing company's beta risky?

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I think the key is understanding that reinsurance premiums are not fully earned when received, so the answer has to involve unearned premiums. Let me re-read the options carefully.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking where the 2% tolerance should be set, so I'll need to consider the different settings available in the system.

This seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is B. General Posting Setup, since we need to set up a general ledger account for posting the cost differences.
