Answer:

Expectation = $409.365

Standard Deviation= $491.72.

Explanation:

Solution Let M be the amount of the medical expense and let X be the insurance  company’s payout. Then,

X =  {M − 100, if M > 100,

        0, if M ≤ 100,

where M is exponentially distributed with parameter 1/500. To find the expected  payment, apply the law of total expectation, giving

E(X) = E(E(X|M)) = ∫∞  0   E(X/M = m)e^−m dm

= ∫ ∞  100  E(M − 100/M = m) 1 /500e^−m/500 dm

= ∫ ∞ 100  (m − 100) 1 /500e^−m/500 dm

= 500e^−100∕500

= $409.365.

For the standard deviation, first find

E ( X²) = E ( E ( X²/M)) = ∫ ∞  0   E ( X²/M = m ) e^−m dm

= ∫ ∞  100   E (  (M − 100) ²/M = m ) 1 /500e^−m/500 dm

= ∫ ∞  100  (m − 100) ² 1 /500e^−m∕500 dm

= 500000e^−1/5 = 409365.

This gives

SD(X) = √ Var(X) = √ E(X²) − E(X)²

= √ 409365 − (409.365)²

= $491.72.

NB: ∫ ∞  100 and ∫ ∞  0 is ∫  superscript ∞ and subscript 0 or 100 as the case may be.

Also, 1 /500e^−m/500 is 1/500e raised to -m/500

galben [10]

Answer:

37.25%

Explanation:

Average total common stockholders' equity:

= (Beginning common​ stockholders' equity + Ending common​ stockholders' equity) ÷ 2

= ($530,000 + $490,000) ÷ 2

= $510,000

Return on Equity = Net income ÷ Average total common stockholders' equity

                            = $190,000 ÷ $510,000

                            = 0.3725

                            = 37.25%

Answer:

1969.6%

Explanation:

The computation of the effective annual rate is given below;

Given that

It is been charged $12 for $200 loan for 7 days

So for 7 days,

the nominal interest rate is is

= 12 ÷ 200 × 100

= 6%

Now

(1+r) = (1+0.06)^{52}

(1+r) = 20.696

r = 19.696

= 1969.6%
