An insurer sells a very large number of policies to people with the following loss distribution: $100,000 with probability 0.005

$ 60,000 with probability 0.010 Loss = $ 20,000 with probability 0.020 $10,000 with probability 0.05 $0 with probability 0.915 a. Calculate the expected claim cost per policy b. Assume claims are paid one year after premiums are received and that the in terest rate is 6 percent. Calculate the dis- counted expected claim cost per policy c. Assume that the only administrative cost is the cost of processing an application, which equals $100 per policy, and that the fair profit loading is $50. What is the fair premium?

Answer:

a) $2000

b)  $1,886.7925

C) $2,036.7925

Explanation:

First, the question states to determine the expected claim cost per policy

Expected Claim Cost represents the fund required to be paid by an insurer for a particular contract or a group of contracts as the case maybe. This is usually based on the policy taken.

A) Expected Claim Cost per policy

= (Policy Loss Value A x its probability) + (Policy Loss Value B x its probability) + (Policy Loss Value C x its probability)+(Policy Loss Value D x its probability)+ (Policy Loss Value E x its probability)

= ( (100000 x 0.005 )+ (60000 x 0.010) + (20000 x 0.02) + (10000 x 0.05) + 0 = $2000

Part B: discounted expected claim cost per policy

Since, the sum of $2000 is expected to be paid by the insurer by the end of the year, the interest to be earned based on the rate  (discounting used)

=$2,000 ÷ (1  + 0.06)

= $1,886.7925

Part C:: Determine the Fair Premium

Fair Premium is calculated as follows

The discounted policy claim cost + the Processing Cost per application + The fair profit loading

= $1,886.7925+ $100+50 = $2,036.7925

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.  

Explanation:

Loanable funds refer to the aggregate amount of money that all sectors, entities and individuals within an economy have decided to keep as an investment, instead of spending on personal consumption, by saving and giving them out as loans to borrowers.  

The market for loanable funds is in equilibrium when the supply of loanable funds by the saver is equal to demand for loanable funds by the borrowers at a given interest rate.

When the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium, efficiency is maximized because projects that have higher rates of return are given priority to be funded first before the projects with lower rates of return are funded. The reason is that savers that have lowest costs of lending provides funds for the projects that have highest return rates in equilibrium. However, potential saver who do not lend money will prefer a higher interest rates.

Therefore, the correct options related to the two aspects of efficiency that the equilibrium of market for loanable funds exhibits are as follows:

a. Savers who lend money are willing to accept a lower minimum interest rate than potential savers who do not lend money.  

b. Investment projects that are financed by savers have larger rates of return than projects that do not receive financing.
