Assume claims are paid one year after premiums are received


1. An insurer sells a very large number of policies to people with the following loss distribution:

$100,000 with probability 0.005

$60,000 with probability 0.010

Loss =  $20,000 with probability 0.020

$10,000 with probability 0.05

$ 0        with probability 0.915

a. Assume claims are paid one year after premiums are received and that the interest rate is 6 percent. Calculate the discounted expected claim cost per policy.

b. Assume that the only administrative cost is the cost of processing an application, which equals $100 per policy, and that the fair profit loading is $150. What is the fair premium?
