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
