Financial accounting module 21: Contractual service margin homework assignment

(The attached PDF file has better formatting.)

An insurer writes a two-year policy on December 31, 20X0, and expects to

●    receive on December 31, 20X0, premium of 350
●    incur and pay two claims
    ○    one on December 31, 20X1, for 150
    ○    one on December 31, 20X2, for 200

The discount rate for this insurance contract is 5% per annum. For simplicity, the acquisition cash flows and the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are zero and the coverage units are the same in both years.

A.    What are the fulfilment cash flows at initial recognition?
B.    What is the contractual service margin at initial recognition?
C.    What are the fulfilment cash flows at December 31, 20X0, after the premium is received?

On December 31, 20X1:
    the insurer re-estimates the December 31, 20X2, claim from 200 to 180
    the discount rate changes from 5% to 7% per annum

D.    What are the fulfilment cash flows at December 31, 20X1?
E.    What is the contractual service margin at December 31, 20X1, after the allocation to profit or loss?

Is there anywhere that discusses the difference in fulfilment cash flows before and after receiving the premium? 

Actually, I found it in the module 22 practice problems. I wasn't sure it was as simple as just taking away the amount paid in premium, but is is.
