Suppose you are 45 and have a $410,000 face amount, 15-year, limited-payment, participating policy (dividends will be used to build up the cash value of the policy). Your annual premium is $1,435. The cash value of the policy is expected to be $16,400 in 15 years. Using time value of money and assuming you could invest your money elsewhere for a 7 percent annual yield, calculate the net cost of insurance. Use (Exhibit 1-A, Exhibit 1-B, Exhibit 1-C, Exhibit 1-D)
To a health insurance company, the total claims (payout) expected for a group of insured persons depend on all of the following except
a)the number of insured persons in the group.
b)the average income of persons in the group.
c)the average cost of an illness.
d)the probability of illness for the insured persons.

- Two 9-year-old boys are watching a television replay of a boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier on a program called “Great Fights of the Century.” Since the fight took place before they were old enough to remember the outcome, neither knows who won and they bet on the outcome.

After you complete some needed renovations and improvements, you believe you can increase the occupancy to 95% while achieving higher rents and reduced operating costs, and you believe the renovated building will sell at a lower cap rate. If you can increase the NOI by 50% and reduce the sale cap rate by 25%, you will increase the sale price of the property by: a. 75% b. 25% c. 50% d. 100%arrow_forwardA homebuyer recently obtained a loan to purchase a house. The lender offered a lower interest rate because the loan is secured. Why would a real estate loan be considered a secure loan? О The loan is backed by the property itself. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can sell the property to get their money back. O In order to qualify for a home loan, the borrower must have good credit. Good credit is a form of security for the lender. O All real estate loans are considered unsecure. O Most home loans are long-term loans, which are considered low-risk from the lender's perspective.arrow_forward

An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%.
