Question

Ricardo paid an annual premium of $1,200 in total liability coverage for his car, including up to $200,000 in bodily injury coverage and $100,000 in property damage coverage. Ten years into his policy, Ricardo caused an accident that resulted in the other driver claiming $40,000 in medical costs and $20,000 in car damage. Did the cost of the annual premiums outweigh the benefit of transferring the risk to the insurance company

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the cost of the annual premium for 10 years was less than the accident claims

Explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the annual premium is $1,200, $200,000 is the bodily injury coverage and $100,000 should be the property damage coverage

Also the $40,000 and $20,000 represent the medical cost and the car damage

So here the cost should not outweight the benefit of the transferring the risk as the annual premium cost for ten years should be lower than the accident claims
