In 2008, 1 in approximately every 200 cars in the United States was stolen. Beth owns a car worth $20,000 and is considering pur

chasing an insurance policy to protect herself from car theft. For the following questions, assume that the chance of car theft is the same in all regions and across all car models.
Requried:
a. What should the premium for a fair insurance policy have been in 2014 for a policy that replaces Beth’s car if it is stolen? (Round up to three decimal places.)
b. Suppose an insurance company charges 0.6% of the car’s value for a policy that pays for replacing a stolen car. How much will the policy cost Beth?
c. Will Beth purchase the insurance in part b if she is risk-neutral?

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.

Cheers!

<span>asset turnover ratio is the ratio of the value of a company's sales or revenues generated relative to the value of its assets. The Asset Turnover ratio can often be used as an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is deploying its assets in generating revenue. Given that the sales is 60k and the value of the asset is 370k, the ratio is simply the sales / value of assets which is 60/(370-88).</span>

If merchandise sold on account is returned to the seller, the seller may inform the customer of the details by issuing a
SIZIF [17.4K]

The seller may inform the customer of the details by issuing a credit memo .

A credit note or credit memo is a commercial document issued by a seller to a buyer. A credit memo serves as the source document for the sales return journal. In other words, the credit is evidence of a decline in sales. A credit is a short form of term credit and is evidence of a reduction in the amount owed by the buyer to the seller on a previous invoice.

A document from the bank to the depositor may also indicate that the depositor's account balance is in a non-deposit event such as B. Collection of the depositor's exchange bill by the bank.

A credit memo lists the products, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services offered by the Seller to the Buyer but not returned or received by the Buyer. May be issued for damaged goods, errors, and repairs.

Suppose First Main Street Bank, Second Republic Bank, and Third Fidelity Bank all have zero excess reserves. The required reserv
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves $450,000

Explanation:

Preparation of the table to show the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves

Based on the information given since the REQUIRED RESERVE RATIO is 25%, which means that First Main Street Bank will hold 25% of its initial deposit leading to INCREASE in the REQUIRED RESERVE by the amount of $450,000 (25%*$1,800,000) while the remaining 75% (100%-25%) will be the EXCESS RESERVES of the amount of $1,350,000 (75%*$1,800,000).

Hence:

Amount Deposited: $1,800,000

Change in Excess Reserves=$1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves= $450,000

Therefore the effect of a new deposit on excess and required reserves will be:

Change in Excess Reserves $1,350,000

Change in Required Reserves $450,000

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The
Ugo [173]

Answer:

$2,880

Explanation:

Given that,

Total machine-hours = 30,300

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $ 575,700

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour = $ 4.00

For Job T687:

Number of units in the job = 10

Total machine-hours = 30

Direct materials = $730

Direct labor cost = $1,460

Total variable overhead estimated:

= Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour × Total machine-hours

= $4 × 30,300

= $121,200

Total overhead estimated:

= Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated

= $121,200 + $575,700

= $696,900

Predetermined overhead rate:

= Total overhead estimated ÷ Total machine-hours

= $696,900 ÷  30,300

= $23 per machine hour

Total overhead applied:

= predetermined overhead rate × Total machine hours for Job T687

= $23 × 30

= $690

Total job cost:

= Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead

= $730 + $1,460 + $690

= $2,880
