Insurance policies often contain a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Even if the clause is not in the policy, often court

Oxana [17]

Answer:

The covenant of good faith and fair dealing simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.

In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading Uberrima fides. This is a Latin phrase meaning "Utmost Good Faith".

In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.

For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.

An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.

If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.

Cheers!

Assume that Germany and China can produce beer and cloth. If the MPLc/MPLb for Germany is 2/5 and the MPLc/MPLb for China is 1,

elena55 [62]

Answer: c. specialize in producing beer and export beer.

Explanation:

As per the Theory of Competitive Advantage posited by David Ricardo, a country should specialize in the good that it has a competitive advantage in. A country has a competitive advantage if it incurs a less opportunity cost in producing the good.

Opportunity cost of producing beer for Germany = MPLc/MPLb = 2/5

Opportunity cost of producing beer for China = MPLc/MPLb = 1

Germany has a lower cost of producing beer so they should specialize in this and export it.

(Inspired by the events in the Montreal cement market in 1966.) You are the CEO of Independent Cement (IC), and are considering

pychu [463]

Answer:

1) C.C. is currently selling at $ 12. So, if I.C.'s price is equal to C.C.'s it can sell to all the 400 customers. Hence, IC should keep the price at $12. The CC's price after price determination by IC will be $ 11 as doing so, CC will be able to sell to all 400 customers. Expected profits of IC will be as follows:

Sales =12 *400

Less : Marginal cost = 3*400

Expected profits = $ 3600

(2) If IC builds a small plant, then it can sell upto its capacity i.e. 100 units to 100 customers, if its price is no greater than IC. So IC can keep its price at $ 12. Expected profits of IC = 100 *12 less marginal cost i.e. 3*100 = $ 900.

As a result of above, CC will keep its price either 11 or 12.

Case 1( If CC's price is 11)

Expected profits = sales- marginal cost = 400* 11 - Marginal cost i.e. 4 * 400= 2800

Case 2 ( If CC's price is 12)

Expected profits = sales- marginal cost = 300* 12- Marginal cost i.e. 4* 300 =2400

So, CC's price would be $ 11 as it leads to maximisation of his profits

(3) The choice of size of plant will be dependent upon the profits and is driven by profit maximisation factor.

Case 1 ( If small plant is chosen)

Sales = 100 * 12

Less : Marginal cost = 100 * 3

Profits = $ 900

Case 2 ( If large plant is chosen, we should keep our price at 11 as CC would always keep the price at 11 , not 12 as it maximises its profit at 11)

Sales = 400 * 11

Less marginal cost : 3 * 400

Profits = 3200

Hence, large plant should be chosen

Describe one technology used to travel to space and one technology used to return from space

bagirrra123 [75]

One technology used to travel to space is a spacecraft. It is a vehicle or machine designed to fly in outer space. One technology used to return from space is a capsule. Astronauts occupy the capsule and as it goes down, the capsule performs systematic processes for a safe landing.
