When students in a large class were surveyed about how much they would be willing to pay for a coffee mug with their university'

s logo on it, their median willingness to pay was $5. At random, half of the students in this class were then given such a coffee mug and each of the remaining students were given $5 in cash. Students who got mugs were then offered an opportunity to sell them to students who had not gotten one. According to standard economic models, how many mugs would be expected to change hands? How, if at all, would a behavioral economist's prediction differ?

Answer and Explanation:

1> Let's solve the standard economic model first based on rational expectation.

Since the medium willingness to pay is $5, we can assume half the people have more willingness to pay than $5 and half the people have less. (Since it's a large class, we can assume this)

So, half of them who got the mug will sell, according to standard theory.

2> Now behavioral economist will disagree. People who got the mug, get an emotional and nostalgic attachment with it, thus they would not like to sell it because they get utility after having something, so by behavioral theory, less than half of pupils who got the mug will sell.

An insurer sells a very large number of policies to people with the following loss distribution: $100,000 with probability 0.005
kogti [31]

Answer:

a) $2000

b)  $1,886.7925

C) $2,036.7925

Explanation:

First, the question states to determine the expected claim cost per policy

Expected Claim Cost represents the fund required to be paid by an insurer for a particular contract or a group of contracts as the case maybe. This is usually based on the policy taken.

A) Expected Claim Cost per policy

= (Policy Loss Value A x its probability) + (Policy Loss Value B x its probability) + (Policy Loss Value C x its probability)+(Policy Loss Value D x its probability)+ (Policy Loss Value E x its probability)

= ( (100000 x 0.005 )+ (60000 x 0.010) + (20000 x 0.02) + (10000 x 0.05) + 0 = $2000

Part B: discounted expected claim cost per policy

Since, the sum of $2000 is expected to be paid by the insurer by the end of the year, the interest to be earned based on the rate  (discounting used)

=$2,000 ÷ (1  + 0.06)

= $1,886.7925

Part C:: Determine the Fair Premium

Fair Premium is calculated as follows

The discounted policy claim cost + the Processing Cost per application + The fair profit loading

= $1,886.7925+ $100+50 = $2,036.7925

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

the total activity for the activity cost pool.

Explanation:

In Accounting, costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.

Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.

In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is computed as;

Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.
