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.

Answer:
False. This is because 1 is an odd number and that it is too low in value.
To figure this out, we need to write down some rules/formulas.
Max works 40 hours per week. There are 52 weeks within a year. He made $25,480 last year, and now we're looking for how much he made per hour.
Since we have 52 weeks in a year, divide 25,480 by 52 to get how much he made per week. Once we do that, divide that quotient by 40 to get how much he made per hour.
25,480/52 = 490.
He made $490 per week, but now we must divide by 40 to get how much he made per hour, since we have 40 hours.
490/40 = 12.25
Max made $12.25 per hour.
I hope this helps!
