Rosa has a 10% chance of getting sick in the next year. If she gets sick, her medical bills will amount to $500. She has a wealt

h of $1,000. Suppose she has the utility function u(x) = x0.5, where x is her net wealth at the end of the year.
(a) Calculate Rosa’s risk premium.

(b) What is the most that Rosa is willing to pay for an insurance policy that fully covers against her loss?

(c) Some insurance policies have deductibles. A deductible is an amount of a claim not covered by insurance; it’s a fixed portion of the medical bills that the insured person must pay in order to make a claim to their insurer. Suppose Rosa’s insurance company provides two plans. Plan A has zero deductibles (good!) but charges a high premium (bad!). Specifically, Plan A charges $55 for $500 of coverage. Plan B has a deductible of $K, where K<500, but charges a premium of just $(55 – .1K). Suppose K =b $300. Will Rosa purchase insurance and, if so, which plan? Show this mathematically.

a) In layman's language, Risk Premium is the premium that an individual will get because of taking risks. As in this case, if Rosa is taking a risk of not getting Insured while there is a 10% chance of getting ill in the next year. If she does not get ill in the next year than what ever she saved by not paying the insurance premium is her risk premium.

If she takes a rsik of not paying the premium then she has a chance of losing out $500 & not getting anything financially from this loss while on the other side she has only 10% chance for this.

b) I think, Rosa is willing to pay $55 for her $500 coverage as if there are 10% chances of her getting ill & she is looking at the selective problems being covered in the Plan B then there is further risk enhancement that whatever problem is there with her might be or might not be covered under the insurance policy. so, It is better to go with an expensive but zero deductible plan.

c) Rosa, if takes a plan should go for Plan A which is charging $ 55 but there are zero deductible while Plan B $300 are deductibles & the charges are $ 25 (assuming what is given in the question.) for covering $ 200 (apart from the deductibles) .

Suppose the United States decides to reduce export subsidies on U.S. agricultural products, but it does not decrease taxes or in
Ann [662]

Answer:

1. Decrease, increase

2. Supply curve shifts to the right

3. NCO will rise

4. Real exchange rate falls and net exports rises

Explanation:

Fiscal deficit occurs when government spending's exceed government revenue. When the government lowers its export subsidies while keeping other spending's and taxes unchanged, it leads to a fall in the fiscal deficit.

1. However, the reduction in expenditure on export subsidies <em>decreases</em> the fiscal deficit, thereby <em>increases </em>public savings.

2. As public savings increase it leads to an increase in funds available to be loaned out. So the <em>supply curve</em> for loanable funds will <em>shift to the right</em> from S1 to S2. This will lead to a <em>fall</em> in the interest rate.

3. As we know that net capital outflow is inversely related to the interest rate. A fall in the interest rate above will lead to a <em>rise</em> in net capital outflow.

4. When net capital outflow increases, people move funds out of the country. Thus, supply of dollars will increase. While demand for dollars has remained unchanged, it leads to a<em> fall</em> in the real exchange rate. As exchange rate falls, the equilibrium level of net exports will <em>rise</em>.

The AW Direct trucking company recently had to terminate one third of its employees and restructure various divisions. Some empl
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

c. If the decision to terminate was an employee's, the relationship the previous employee had with AW Direct, the amount of notice given by the employee prior to departure, and the needs of AW Direct.

Explanation:

The impact, behavior and the relationship in the employee-organization connection is crucial for determining whether to rehire or not.

If the employee terminated the contract by his/her will, with no intention of working with the company, than it is of no use to reach that employee out. Also, his/her <em>behavior and responsibility</em> is indicated by the amount of notice he gave before the termination, as it is mostly required by companies in order to find adequate workforce replacement.

Most importantly, AW Direct has to have in mind the <em>particular employee needs</em> it has, and which employees caters to them. Since these employees have already worked for AW Direct, the company surely has an established HR record regarding each and every one of them.

Personal needs of the particular employee (financial, medical, or family needs) are irrelevant as they imply a biased (although ethical) take on hiring. Naturally, the same applies for hiring employees related to managers.
