Question

Retain the small predictable layers of risk and transfer the unpredictable catastrophic layer of risk. Does this statement promote appropriate risk financing decision making

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes the statement does

Explanation:

Retaining small predictable layers of risk and transferring the unpredictable catastrophic layer of risk to a more capable body is a very good approach towards  promoting appropriate risk financing decision making, this is because

Financial risk decisions are decisions taken between alternatives i.e risks associated with business activities . it is more appropriate to take alternatives with a predictable layer of risk,that way it would be easier for the management to handle the risk associated with it, while transferring the unpredictable catastrophic layer of risk to a more capable body ,like the Insurance companies .
