Answer:
A) The amount of the premium in fair insurance policy that replaces Beths car, must be equal to the probability or expectation of claim of car theft.
Therefore, the Premium amount = 20000 x (1/200)
= 20000 (0.005)
= $100
B) If an Insurance company charges 0.6% for replacing a stolen car, then the policy will cost beth:
20000* 0.6%
= 12,000/100
= $ 120
C) To be risk-neutral means to be indifferent to the risk. This means that Beth would be indifferent. She most likely will be focused on maximizing value for money. In other words, she will NOT pay for the insurance policy in part b because part A provides her with the exact (or fair) premium for her insurance.
D) The moral hazard problem is this, people tend to become more careless with an insurance policy in place. This moral hazard arises form the knowledge that there is an insurance policy that caters to their risks.
As a matter of practice, therefore, insurance companies factor this increased risk into their premiums. Where the premium was supposed to be $100, they may charge $120.
In summary, it means that Beth most likely will move from becoming risk neutral to becoming (to a certain degree) more risk loving.
Cheers!
Can you give us the multiple choice answers?
Answer:
As the gross profit is the same for both products It is better to choose Product A because Product Z needs further processing a day , so time can also be the constraint.
Explanation:
Process Cost of Product A = $ 8000
Sale of Product A= $ 22,500
Gross Profit For A= $ 14,500
Process Cost of Product Z= $ 8000 + $4200= $ 12,200
Sale of Product Z= $ 26,700
Gross Profit For Z= $ 14,500
The gross profit for both products is same but product Z requires additional day for further processing so it is better to choose Product A.
Answer:
The formula to calculate the Budget Balance is
Government Income - Government Expenditure
in this case
$1.05 billion - $1.06 billion = -<u> 0.01 billion or - $100 million</u>
Explanation:
A budget balance is reached when a government expenditures are equal to it's income.
In this case, since the country's only source of income it is slightly less than than what is required to run the government, it has a budget deficient.
Since the country does not export or trade with outside countries, the government will need to take out a loan to make up for this deficient.
