Question 1075448: Suppose you set insurance prices for an insurance company. The insured object is a Dutch oven. With probability 0.02 the lid will need to be replaced and it will cost $150, with probability 0.01 the pot will need to be replaced and it will cost $400. Your boss wants the insurance policy to generate $9 of expected profit. What should be the price of the insurance policy? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, calculate the expected cost.
.02 x 150=3 +
.01 x 400=4
Expected cost:$7
7+9(profit)=$16 as the optimum price for the policy. ☺☺☺☺
