A one-year life insurance policy for a 25-year-old male costs $100 and pays $10,000 in case of death during the 25th year. NOTE:

The insurance company would not refund the $100 premium, so their net payout in case of death is actually $9900. The probability of death for a 25-year-old male is 0.002.
What is the expected gain per policy for the insurance company?

Answer:

The expected gain per policy for the insurance company is $80

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Outcome            death          No death

Net gain                     $-9900      $ 100

Probability               0.002     0.998

Therefore, in order to calculate the expected gain per policy for the insurance company we would have to calculate the following formula:

Expected Gain = (-$9900)*(0.002)+($100)*(0.998) = -19.8+99.8= 80

Expected Gain=-$19.8+$99.8=

Expected Gain=$80

The expected gain per policy for the insurance company is $80

The cost, in dollars, to produce x designer dog leashes is C ( x ) = 8 x + 3 , and the price-demand function, in dollars per lea
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Profit maximising price = 48

Explanation:

Total Cost : C (x) = 8x + 3

Demand Curve : p (x) = 88 − 2x

Total Revenue = p (x). x  =  x (88 - 2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Profit maximisation is where Marginal Cost (MC) = Marginal Revenue (MR)

MC = d TC / d Q  =   d (8x + 3) / d x = 8

MR = d TR / d Q = d (88x - 2x^2) / d x = 88 - 4x

Equating MR & MC ,

88 - 4x = 8  , 88 - 8 = 4x

x = 80 / 4 , x = 20

Putting value in demand curve,

p = 88 - 2x = 88 - 2 (20) = 88 - 40

p = 48
