Answer:
Firms may be inclined to keep their workers’ wages above the equilibrium level.
Explanation:
The efficiency wage theory states that if an employer increases the wage of his/her employees, they will be motivated and their productivity will increase. The increase in productivity should offset the increased labor costs. So the costs of higher wages should be recouped through increased productivity. Higher wages also reduce worker turnover, reducing hiring and training costs.
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
