They may also refuse to take personal responsibility in any situation.

  1. Selection bias
  2. Information bias

The proceeds of a 10,000 death benefit are left on deposit with an insurance company for seven years at an annual effective inte
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: $135

Explanation:

First find the future value of the proceeds.

= 10,000 * (1 + 5%)⁷

= $14,071

The monthly payments are equal so X is an annuity and as the payment is made immediately, this is an Annuity due.

Convert the interest rate into monthly figure:

= 3%/12

= 0.25%

Present value of annuity = Annuity * (( 1 - (1 + r)^-n ) / r) * (1 + r)

14,071 = Annuity * ((1 - (1 + 0.25%) ⁻¹²⁰) / 0.25%) * (1 + 0.25%)

14,071 = Annuity * 103.82

Annuity = 14,071 / 103.82

= $135.53

= $135

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$16,875

Explanation:

The amount received per year is $15,000 and the CPI increased from 144 to 162

Inflation rate = (New CPI - Old CPI)/Old CPI * 100

Inflation rate = 162-144/144 * 100

Inflation rate = 0.125

Inflation rate = 12.5%

Amount received = $15,000 * 12.5% = $1,875

==> $15,000 + $1,875 = $16,875

So, Grandmother will receive $16,875

In team-based environments, the principal may have difficulty determining individual contributions by members. This can create a situation in which an opportunistic employee does little work but takes credit and this is known as adverse selection.

<h3>What is Adverse selection?</h3>
  • In general, the term "adverse selection" refers to a situation in which sellers have knowledge about a certain feature of product quality but purchasers do not, or vice versa. In other words, it is an instance of the use of asymmetric information.
  • When one side to a transaction has more in-depth knowledge of the relevant facts than the other, this is known as asymmetric information, also known as information failure.
  • Usually, the vendor is the one who has more knowledge. When both parties are knowledgeable, it is said that there is symmetric information.
