Avicenna, a major insurance company, offers five-year life insurance policies to 65-year-olds. If the holder of one of these pol
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Avicenna can expect to lose money from offering these policies. In the long run, they should expect to lose ___33__ dollars on each policy sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The amount the company Avicenna must pay to the shareholder if the person die before 70 years = $ 26,500

The value of each policy = $497

It is given that there is a 2% chance that people will die before 70 years and 98% chance that people will live till the age 70.

The expected policy to be sold= policy nominal + chances of death

                                      = 497 + [98% (no pay) + 2% (pay)]

                                     = 497 + [98%(0) + 2%(-26500)]

(The negative sign shows that money goes out of the company)

                                   = 497 - 2% (26500)

                                  = 497 - 530

                                  =33

Therefore the company loses 33 dollar on each policy sold in the long run.

Calvin works at a facility which processes apples. It costs the facility $0. 68 to make either a jar of applesauce or a bottle o
NNADVOKAT [17]

The number of bottles the facility requires to sell when it breaks is given by

a system of two simultaneous equations.

  • When the facility breaks even, it would have sold 7<u>7,579 bottles of apples juice</u>.

Reasons:

The cost to make a jar of applesauce or a bottle of apple juice = $0.68

Number of jars of applesauce to be sold foe every 2 bottles of apple juice = 3 jars

The selling price for a jar of applesauce = $2.20

Selling price for a bottle of apple juice = $3.15

Annual overhead cost excluding production cost = $368,500

Required: Number of bottles of apple juice sold by the facility when it breaks even annually.

Solution:

Let <em>J</em> represent the number of bottles of apple juice sold, and let <em>S</em> represent the number of jars of apple sauce, by excluding the production cost, we have;

(3.15 - 0.68)·J + (2.2 - 0.68)·S = 368,500

S : J = 3 : 2

Which gives;

\displaystyle \frac{S}{J} = \mathbf{ \frac{3}{2}}

\displaystyle S= \frac{3}{2} \cdot J

Therefore;

\displaystyle (3.15 - 0.68) \cdot J + (2.2 - 0.68) \cdot S = (3.15 - 0.68) \cdot J + (2.2 - 0.68) \cdot  \frac{3}{2} \cdot J = \mathbf{368,500}

Which gives;

\displaystyle  (3.15 - 0.68) \cdot J + (2.2 - 0.68) \cdot  \frac{3}{2} \cdot J = \mathbf{ \frac{19 \cdot J }{4} } =  368,500

\displaystyle  J  =   \frac{368,500 \times 4}{19}  = \frac{1474000}{19}=77578\frac{18}{19}  \approx 77,579

The number of bottles of apple juice sold, J ≈ <u>77,579 bottles</u>
