b) none of the above


c) $500


d) $200

Answer 1

Answer:

Option "A" is the correct answer to the following question.

Explanation:

Given:

Actual cost of camera = $500

Alfred cost of camera = $200

Life expectancy = 6 years

Remain life of camera = (6 - 3) years = 3 years

Computation of the current cost of the camera:

The current cost of camera = Alfred cost of camera × (Remain life of camera / Life expectancy)

Current cost of camera = $200 × (3/6)

Current cost of camera = $100

Therefore, the insurance company will pay $100 to Alfred.
