Suppose that the probability of a certain 22-year-old person dying within a year is 0.001921. They are offered a $200,000.00 life insurance policy for that year and the policy comes at a one-time cost of $375.00. What is the expected value from the standpoint of the insurance company? Round your answer to the nearest cent. What should the company charge if they would like to have an expected value of $90.00 from this policy? Round your answer to the nearest cent.
