Suppose a life insurance company sells a $250,000 one-year term life insurance policy to a 24-year-old female for $360. The probability that the female survives the year is 0.999477. Compute and interpret the expected value of this policy to the insurance company. The expected value is S. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Which of the following interpretation of the expected value is correct? O A. The insurance company expects to make an average profit of S32.71 on every 24-year-old female it insures for 1 month. O B. The insurance company expects to make an average profit of $359.81 on every 24-year-old female it insures for 1 year. O C. The insurance company expects to make an average profit of $20.84 on every 24-year-old female it insures for 1 month. O D. The insurance company expects to make an average profit of $229.25 on every 24-year-old female it insures for 1 year.

An survival model is given by the survival function S₁(x) = e Suppose a whole life insurance policy with a benefit of $118250 payable immediately at the time of death of the insured life has a continuously compound interest rate 8 -0.026.

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 $390 million. The probability of loss is 1.29 percent in one year, and the relevant discount rate is 3.1 percent. a. What is the actuarially fair insurance premium? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) b. Suppose that you can make modifications to the building that will reduce the probability of a loss to .80 percent. How much would you be willing to pay for these modifications? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.) a. Insurance premium b. Maximum cost

The annual premium for a $5,000 insurance policy against the theft of a painting is $250. If the (empirical) probability that the painting will be stolen during the year is 0.01, what is your expected return from the insurance company if you take out this insurance? Let X be the random variable for the amount of money received from the insurance company in the given year.
