An auto insurance company is implementing a new bonus system. In each month, if a policyholder does not have an accident, they w

ill receive a cash-back bonus of 5 from the company. Among the 1000 policyholder of the auto insurance company, 400 are classified as low-risk drivers and 600 are classified as high-risk drivers. In each month, the probability of zero accidents for high-risk drivers is 0.80 and the probability of zero accidents for low-risk drivers is 0.90. Calculate the expected bonus payment from the company to the 1000 policyholders in one year.

Answer:

50,400

Explanation:

Using application of total expectation, E;

N= Number of policy holders who have zero accidents in one month

P= Probability

N|Low = 400

N|High=600

P|Low=0.9

P|High=0.8

Therefore E = (N|Low*P|Low)+(N|High*P|High)

E=(400*0.9)+(600*0.8)

E=360+480

E=840

Then Total bonus for the year B

B= E*12*5

B=840*12*5

B=50,400

Suppose the demand function (D) for golf clubs is: Q = 240-1.00P, where P is the price paid by consumers in dollars per club and
bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.

From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.

At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.

∵ D is equal to S, we have

$240-1.00P=1.00P$

240=2P

120=P

Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.

$Q=240-1.00P$

$Q=240-1.00(120)$

$Q=240-120$

$Q=120$

This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.

$Q = 240-1.00(140)$

   = 100

Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.

Big Tree Lumber has earnings per share of $1.36. The firm's earnings have been increasing at an average rate of 2.9 percent annu
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The firm's PEG ratio is equal to 5.93

Explanation:

A valuation metric for determining the relative trade-off between the price of a stock, the earnings generated per share (EPS), and the company's expected growth are referred to as the 'PEG ratio' (price/earnings to growth ratio).

Generally, a company with a higher growth rate would have a higher P/E ratio.

PE ratio = Stock price/EPS

             = 23.4/1.36

 PE ratio = 17.205

PEG ratio = PE ratio/ Earning growth ratio

                 = 17.205/2.9

PEG ratio    = 5.93

Suppose electricity generates a negative externality in production. If​ so, then ____
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A negative externality refers to the situation when the cost of production is borne by a third party which is not involved in the production process.

In case there is a negative externality present, the marginal social cost will be greater than the marginal private cost. The competitive price will be lower than the socially optimal price.

Since a third party partially bears the cost, the producer will be able to produce more than the optimal level. There will be a deadweight loss of social welfare.
