- Assume that a fund manager has no idea what he/she is doing and is esentially flipping a coin in order to make decisions. Let's say it's a 50/50 proposition that he/she will have a "good" year (i.e., do better than the market rate of return). (a) what is the probability that the fund manager will have 8 or more good years out of 10 years? (b) if there are 1000 such fund managers, about how many would you expect to have at least 8 or more "good" years out of 10 years?1. If the value of sustainable investing is $101.6 and the discount rate is 9.4% while the value of non-sustainable investing is $39.2 and the company has a 29.1% probability of being sustainable.

- Do you try to pad an insurance claim to cover your deductible? About 44% of all U.S. adults will try to pad their insurance claims! Suppose that you are the director of an insurance adjustment office. Your office has just received 126 insurance claims to be processed in the next few days. Find the following probabilities. (a) half or more of the claims have been padded (b) fewer than 45 of the claims have been padded (c) from 40 to 64 of the claims have been padded (d) more than 80 of the claims have not been paddedXYZ Insurer has economic capital of $150,00. It has just collected $450,000 in premiums and projects total loss obligations (liabilities) according to the following table. Projected Total Losses $200,000 S300,000 $400,000 $500,000 S600,000 S700,000 SS00,000 $900.000 Probability of Total Losses 10 20 35 20 10 .03 015 005 What is the probability that XYZ Insurer will not have enough assets and capital to meet its loss obligations? 3% 5% 01:49Regarding expected BCA and the example of climate change, O a. reducing greenhouse gases now can be thought of as cheap insurance to rule-out the possibility of a low probability, but very high damages contingency. O b.uncertainty is excellent economic excuse for inaction. Oc the expected net benefits of reducing greenhouse gases are negative since there is a high probability that the costs outweigh the benefits. O d.using a larger discount rate increases the expected net benefits.
