Risk pooling allows an insurance carrier to provide an income stream via an immediate annuity, even with its costs and expenses, far more cheaply than a person could on his or her own. Risk pooling is the practice of sharing all risks among a group of insurance companies.
Answer:
cash 55,110,929 debit
note payable 55,110,929 credit
--to record singing of promissory note with discounted interest--
interest expense 1.583.741,77 debit
note payable 1.583.741,77 credit
--to record accrued interest on note payable --
Explanation:
the note plus interest will be for 60 millions.
So to calcualte the isuance ofthe note we must calculate the present value of a lump sum at 12% discount rate:
Maturity 60,000,000.00
time 0.75
rate 0.12
PV 55,110,929.18
then at December 31th we solve for the accrued interest:
Principal 55,110,929.18
time 0.25 (3 months over 12 month a year)
rate 0.12000
Amount 56,694,670.95
accrued interest: 56,694,670.95 - 55,110,929.18 = 1.583.741,77
Answer:
B) should pack her bags for the trip; she earned it
Explanation:
In this scenario, it can be said that if the client purchases that annuity, the agent should pack her bags for the trip; she earned it. Since the annuity that has been recommended by the agent is offering her an incentive, and the agent fully disclosed that fact to the client, then she did her duty correctly. In the case that the client decides to purchase the annuity, they do so with full knowledge of the potential conflict of interest.

Answer:
Imagine you have just flicked a lighter. If you don’t see the flame, you will naturally try a second time. If after the second attempt it does not strike a flame, you will repeat your action again and again until it does. Eventually, you’ll see the flame and you’ll know that your lighter works. But what if it doesn’t? How long are you going to flick the lighter until you decide to give up?
Our everyday life is full of such decision dilemmas and uncertainty. We constantly have to choose between options, whether we make the most ordinary decisions – should I continue flicking this lighter? – or life-changing choices – should I leave this relationship? We can either keep on doing what we are already used to do, or risk unexplored options that could turn out much more valuable.
Some people are naturally inclined to take more chances, while others prefer to hold on to what they know best. Yet being curious and explorative is fundamental for humans and animals to find out how best to harvest resources such as water, food or money. While looking at the Belém Tower – a symbol of Portugal’s great maritime discoveries – from my office window, I often wonder what drives people to explore the unknown and what goes on in their brains when weighing pros and cons for trying something new. To answer these questions, together with Dr. Zachary Mainen and his team of neuroscientists, we investigate how the brain deals with uncertainty when making decisions.
Explanation:
It is well known that the decision-making process results from communication between the prefrontal cortex (working memory) and hippocampus (long-term memory). However, there are other regions of the brain that play essential roles in making decisions, but their exact mechanisms of action still are unknown.
