Business
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]3 years ago
3 0

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!

A store manager must decide how many rug cleaners to rent to customers. The manager estimates that the first would yield $200 a
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The store manager must decide to buy 3

Explanation:

Given that:

  • The first:  $200 a year
  • The second $150
  • The third $75,
  • The fourth $50
  • Interest rate is 12 percent
  • Investment: $500

As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment

So the rate of return of:

  • The first:  $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
  • The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
  • The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
  • The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%

Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3
