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!

The answer is: Sabbatical

Sabbatical refers to a paid leave given to employees in order to study or travel. The term sabbatical is taken from the bible (where God rest on the seventh day after working for six days). Because of this, some companies only granted a sabbatical only if they already dedicated their life for the company for 7 years.

A low P/E for a stock indicates that:
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

(A). People may expect earnings to fall in the future, perhaps because the firm will be faced with increased competition.

Explanation:

Price Earnings ratio of a company represents market price per share of a company's stock in relation to it's earnings per share.

Price Earnings ratio(PER) is given by the following formula:

PER = \frac{Market\ Price\ Per\ Share}{Earnings\ Per\ Share}

A lower P/E Ratio indicates that a company's market price of a share is lower relative to it's earnings. This means the company's stock is undervalued.

It can also mean that the company's earnings have increased which in turn has increased it's earnings per share.  

Investors in general expect lower earnings in future for the stock of a company with low P/E Ratio.
