If the average probability of an accident of those insured with
Patakazo is 7%, and
the average value of the cars insured by the same company is
$23,000, what is the
average premium paid by New Yorkers insured with Patakazo if we
assume the
insurance company makes zero economic profits.
How do you solve this?
if an insurance company makes zero economic profit then it has charged actuarial fair premium
Actuarial fair premium = probability of loss * amount of insurance purchased
= 0.07*23000
= $1610

Problem #3 Thousands of surfers spend their holidays every year on the Selection island. They are exposed to the risk of getting bitten by a shark. The probability of such event varies for different groups (depending on the frequency of entering the water) - it has a uniform distribution over the interval [0;0.24] (informally: in a large population every risk of getting bitten level between 0 and 24% occurs equally often). Individual probability of getting bitten is known to each...
Consider two investments X and Y, where X pays $0 and $10 with equal probability and Y pays 0 with probability 0.75 and $20 with probability 0.25. What investment would an investor choose if her utility function is ux=x2 ux=x ux=1-e-x10 Consider an insurance market with insurance firms being competitive and risk neutral (Zero expected profits in equilibrium) and a risk averse customer with a von-Neumann Morgenstern utility function ux=x1/3. The customer is born with a wealth of $150. There...

Probability questions. Answers are here but I don't know how to do the work so please provide all steps. Thank you!! 1. a) An insurance company believes that people can be divided into two classes: those who are accident prone and those who are not. The company's statistics show that an accident-prone person will have an accident at some time within a fixed 1-year period with probability .4, whereas this probability decreases to .2 for a person who is not...

In calculating insurance premiums, the actuarially fair insurance premium is the premium that results in a zero NPV for both the insured and the insurer. As such, the present value of the expected loss is the actuarially fair insurance premium. Suppose your company wants to insure a building worth $600 million. The probability of loss is 1.31 percent in one year, and the relevant discount rate is 4.2 percent. a. What is the actuarially fair insurance premium? (Do not round...
Tyler just wrecked his new Nissan, and the accident was his fault. The owner of the other vehicle got two estimates for the repairs: one was for $710 and the other was for $762. Tyler is thinking of keeping the insurance companies out of the incident to keep his driving record "clean." Tyler's deductible on his comprehensive coverage insurance is $600, and he does not want his premium to increase because of the accident. In this regard, Tyler estimates that...
