the solution in the sample 4 shows that PV Factor = Incr paid * (1+DR)^-timing, while in the Excel illustration: PV Factor = incr paid *(1+DR)^-(timing - (0.5 - AAD effective year)).
The excel file indicates it is the formulas for LIC , not LRC - i believe both column 7, 9 is for LIC, this is discounting for Loss Component, unless I am missing sth else?
thanks so much! I understand now, so basically there are 3 types of PV factors, PV for LIC, PV for LC (part of LRC), and PV for prem (part of LRC)? Am i understanding correctly?

One is the PV factor for the LIC and the other is for the PV factor of the LRC

The title says discounting for Loss Component which is part of the LRC

Yes, you can think of it that way
I think its more important to understand why those factors are different for each though
