This oftentimes done by a number of politicians.

Insurance policies often contain a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Even if the clause is not in the policy, often court
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The <em>covenant of good faith and fair dealing</em> simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.

In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading <em>Uberrima fides</em>. This is a Latin phrase meaning <em>"Utmost Good Faith".</em>

In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.

For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.

 

An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.

If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.

Cheers!

MatroZZZ [7]

It is likely that the increase in the price of hamburgers is related to the fact that demand is greater than supply.

<h3 /><h3>What is the law of supply and demand?</h3>

It is an economic approach to understanding the economic factors that influence the quantity of a product supplied in a market and its price.

Therefore, when there is more demand than supply for a good available in the economy, it means a situation of scarcity, which makes prices rise.

Avicorp has a $ 12.9 million debt issue​ outstanding, with a 5.9 % coupon rate. The debt has​ semi-annual coupons, the next coup
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

a)

Pre-tax Cost Of Debt = 7.64%

b)

Tax Rate = 40%    

Post Tax cost of debt = 7.33% * (1 - 40%) = 4.58%  

So Post Tax cost of Debt = 4.58%

Explanation:

Bond Par Value =  12,900,000  

Bond Market Price 93% of face value = 11,997,000  

Years To maturity = 5.00  

Annual Interest 5.9% = 761,100

Formula = [Annual Interest + (Par Value-Market Value) / Years to Maturity] / [(Par value+Market Price*2)/3]

Year To Maturity = [761100 + (12900000 - 11997000) / 5] / (12900000 + 2*11997000) / 3

Year to maturity = 7.33%
