Answer:

The correct answer based on the options given is A)

Explanation:

Actuarial Science is a branch of mathematics predominantly used by the Insurance Industry to create a formula or mathematical model that enables them to charge a profit-oriented rate for a particular risk.

If insurance companies charge arbitrarily, they may overcharge thus leading to a collapse of the system. If they undercharge, the system of pooling risks becomes unsustainable as claim paying capabilities are reduced.

Hence the need to use a mathematical model to ensure that rates give room for the ability of the system to meets it's obligations when they arise and for the companies to make a profit.

The use of models is the reason why sometimes there are hard markets in insurance and at other times there are soft markets.

Cheers!

Four roommates are planning to spend the weekend in their dorm room watching old movies, and they are debating how many to watch

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

1. Inside the dorm room, the movies are Non-Rival which means that one person can watch the movie and it will not diminish the ability of others to watch as well.

Also as they are all in the same dorm, the showing of the movie is Non-Excludable as well because no one can stop the other from watching.

Public good is both Non-Rival and Non-Excludable so the showing of a movie IS a public good.

10 9 8 3 30

8 7 6 2 23

6 5 4 1 16

4 3 2 0 9

2 1 0 0 3

The optimal number of movies that can be rented is dependent on their total willingness to pay. If their Total willingness to pay for the movie is above $8 which is the cost of a movie, then they will get it. From the table, the fifth movie is below the price of $8 so they should rent 4 movies.

3. If they rent 4 movies and there are 4 of them then the cost per person is;

= (8 *4)/4 people

= 24/4

= $8

This means that each roommate will pay $8.
