sdas [7]

Answer:

1. $90, 000, 000/ $100, 000, 000

= 0.9  

2. $5, 000, 000 + $30, 000, 000 / $10, 000, 000

= 3.5

3. = ($90, 000, 000 + $5, 000, 000 + $30, 000, 000) / $100, 000, 000

= 1.25

= $10, 000, 000 / $90, 000, 000

= 0.1111

5.. = ($5, 000, 000 + $30, 000, 000 + $90, 000, 000) / $100, 000, 000 + $10, 000, 000

= 1.136

Explanation:

1. Loss ratio is the losses an insurer incurs due to paid claims as a percentage of premiums earned. A loss ratio is the difference between an insurance company's premiums compared to how much it pays out in claims

This is the formula to calculate the loss ratio:

The ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of premiums by the amount of premiums collected.

A low ratio means the insurance company is profitable. A high ratio means the company is less profitable. If the ratio is 1 or 100%, that means that the company is unprofitable.

JKL’s loss ratio:

Premiums written: $90, 000, 000

Premiums earned: $100, 000, 000

$90, 000, 000/ $100, 000, 000 = 0.9  : 1

2. Expense ratio measures how much of a fund's assets are used for administrative and other operating expenses. An expense ratio is determined by dividing a fund's operating expenses by the average dollar value of it assets (the total market value of the investments that a person or entity manages on behalf of clients.

JKL’s Expenses Ratio:  

            =    Total Fund Expenses / Total Fund Assets

            =     $5, 000, 000 + $30, 000, 000 / $10, 000, 000

            =      3.5  : 1

3. Combined Ratio:  measures an insurer’s profitability. it is merely a combination of the loss ratio and expense ratio. It measures the losses and expenses incurred in relation to the premiums earned.

JKL’s Combined Ratio:  

= ($90, 000, 000 + $5, 000, 000 + $30, 000, 000) / $100, 000, 000

= 1.25  : 1

4. Investment Ratio: is the ratio that an insurer uses in order to measure the company’s net investments to its premiums earned. The ratio compares the income from investments to income from its other activities. This ratio is also a measure of profitability.

= $10, 000, 000 / $90, 000, 000

= 0.1111  : 1

5. Overall Operating Ratio: this is the ratio that a insurer to show his profitability realized before taxation, taking into account investment income.

= ($5, 000, 000 + $30, 000, 000 + $90, 000, 000) / $100, 000, 000 + $10, 000, 000

= 1.136  : 1

Spin Cycle Architecture uses three activity pools to apply overhead to its projects. Each activity has a cost driver used to all
hammer [34]

Answer:

a. predetermined overhead rate for each activity

initial concept formation  = $3,310 per Project Change

design  = $3 per Square feet

construction oversight  = $1,130 per Month

b. Classification

unit-level activities :

design

batch level activities :

initial concept formation

Product level activities :

design<em> </em>

Facility level activities :

initial concept formation

construction oversight

Explanation:

This question requires application of Activity Based Costing (ABC) method of allocating overheads.

For each overhead a rate is determined as follows :

<em>initial concept formation </em>

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost / Number of Project Changes

                                                  = $52,960/ 16

                                                  = $3,310 per Project Change

<em>design </em>

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost / Square feet

                                                  = $420,000/ 140,000

                                                  = $3 per Square feet

<em>construction oversight </em>

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost / Number of Months

                                                  = $118,650/ 105

                                                  = $1,130 per Month

<em>Classification</em>

The way the activity is to be absorbed in costing determine its classification

Suppose a family has saved enough for a 10 day vacation (the only one they will be able to take for 10 years) and has a utility
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2 Days

Explanation:

First, there is the need to rewrite the utility function for clarity

U=V^{1/2}

1. The Probability of Falling ill by someone in the family is given as 20%

2. If someone should fall ill, the total number of days that would be spoiled is calculated as:

Total number of vacation= 10 days x Probability to fall ill = 20%

= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days

This means if someone should fall ill based on the probability, then 2 out of the total 10 days can be ruined

3. The number of days for vacation days to enjoy is 10-2 = 8 days

This means if the family gives up 2 days of probable illness, they can still enjoy their vacation.

V= 2 days
