Question:

Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.

(a)​ What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?

(b) ​Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?

Answer:

To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of <em>Insurable Interest.</em>

A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.

For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.

In question (a) there are two cases.

<em>Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.</em>

Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies,  Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.

<em>Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early. </em>

Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.

The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.

In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.

(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:

i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.

ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

Cheers!

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost TTT, in dol
andriy [413]

Answer: 2,200 units.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is:

T = 5c + 12 f

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost T, in dollars, for shipping c units to the closer location and shipping f units to the farther location. If the total shipping cost was $47,000 and 3,000 units were shipped to the farther location, how many units were shipped to the closer location?

Given the following equation:

T = 5c + 12 f

You know that "T" is the total shipping cost (in dollars), "c" is the number of units shipped to the closer location and "f" is the number of units shipped to the farther location.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can identify that, in this case:

T=47,000\\\\f=3,000

Then, knowing those values, you need to substitute them into the given equation:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)

And finally, you must solve for "c" in order to calculate the number of units that  were shipped to the closer location.

You get that this is:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)\\\\47,000-36,000 = 5c\\\\11,000=5c\\\\\frac{11,000}{5}\\\\c=2,200

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: $83050

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the total reserves of First National Bank will be given as follows:

Total deposit = $675000

The Required reserve ratio will be:

= 675000 × 9%

= 675000 × 9/100

Since the bank has excess reserves of $22,300, then the total reserve will be:

= $83050
