- A.
A) C only
- B.
B) B & C
- C.
C) A B & C
- D.
D) None of above
Correct Answer
C. C) A B & CExplanation
Insurable risk criteria include the Law of Large Numbers, which states that the larger the number of similar risks, the more accurately the losses can be predicted. Additionally, the loss must be definite and measurable, meaning that it can be quantified and verified. Lastly, the loss must not be catastrophic, meaning that it should not result in a widespread and severe impact. Therefore, the correct answer is c) A B & C, as all three criteria must be met for a risk to be insurable.Rate this question:

A type of risk with high frequency but low severity is probably best handled by:
- A.
A) A voidance
- B.
B) Subrogation
- C.
C) Self insurance
- D.
D) Under Insurance
Correct Answer
C. C) Self insuranceExplanation
A type of risk with high frequency but low severity is best handled by self insurance. Self insurance allows an individual or organization to assume the financial responsibility for potential losses instead of transferring that risk to an insurance company. In this case, since the risk has a high frequency but low severity, it may not be cost-effective to transfer it to an insurance company through premiums. Self insurance allows the entity to retain the risk and cover any potential losses internally, which can be more efficient and cost-effective in the long run.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. D) There mus be a sufficietly large number of heterogeneous exposure units to make the losses reasonably predictable.Explanation

This statement is not correct because for risk to be insurable, there must be a sufficiently large number of homogeneous exposure units, not heterogeneous. Homogeneous exposure units ensure that the losses can be predicted and spread across a large pool of similar risks, reducing the overall uncertainty for the insurer.Rate this question:

The correct answer advises the client to consider the potential losses from permanent disability and assess whether they are higher than what he can financially bear. If the potential losses are higher than what he can handle, it is recommended for the client to purchase insurance. This is because the cost of insuring against lower probability events, such as permanent disability, will generally be lower than the potential financial burden of such an event. Therefore, the client would be better off buying insurance to protect against this risk.Rate this question:

- D.
D) She needs to insure her son's life for 30 years.

After her son finishes graduation, her savings will be enough to support him, so she would not need life insurance beyond that point. Additionally, her life expectancy is another 30 years, but that does not necessarily mean she needs life insurance for that entire period.Rate this question:

- D.
D) The older the annuitant is when he or she receives the first annuity payment. The greater will be the amount for each payment.
Correct Answer
A. A) Because of interest factor, an annuitant is assured of receiving back more than he or she paid inExplanation
Life annuity is a financial product that provides regular payments to the annuitant for the rest of their life. The annuitant pays a lump sum or periodic premiums to the annuity provider. The payments received by the annuitant are based on factors such as the annuitant's age, gender, and the interest rates at the time of purchase. However, it is important to note that the annuitant is not guaranteed to receive back more than they paid in. The amount of payments received may be influenced by factors such as interest rates and the annuitant's life expectancy. Therefore, statement a) is incorrect as it suggests an assurance of receiving back more than the annuitant paid in, which is not always the case.Rate this question:

Derive the policy cost per thousand with the following data; policy cost per thousand conversion is 0.001. Interest rate selected equivalent to the after tax rate of return is 10% Dividend or Bonus is Rs. 13000 Death Benefit is Rs. 20,00,000 Annual premium is Rs 23000. Cash surrender value at the end of current policy year is Rs 600000. Cash surrender value at the end of the previous policy year is Rs 570000
- A.
A) Rs 25.04
- B.
B) 28.07
- C.
C) 30.10
- D.
D) 31.15
Correct Answer
B. B) 28.07Explanation
The policy cost per thousand can be calculated by dividing the annual premium by the death benefit and multiplying it by 1000. In this case, the annual premium is Rs 23000 and the death benefit is Rs 20,00,000. Dividing Rs 23000 by Rs 20,00,000 and multiplying it by 1000 gives us Rs 11.5. However, since the interest rate is 10%, we need to add the interest earned on the cash surrender value. The interest earned on the cash surrender value is Rs 600000 - Rs 570000 = Rs 30000. Adding this to the policy cost per thousand gives us Rs 11.5 + Rs 30000 = Rs 30011.5. Finally, multiplying this by the policy cost per thousand conversion of 0.001 gives us Rs 30.01. Therefore, the correct answer is b) 28.07.Rate this question:

The principle of indemnity ensures that the compensation paid to the insured is equal to the loss. This means that in the event of a loss due to an insured event, the insured will be reimbursed for the exact amount of the loss they have suffered. The principle of indemnity aims to restore the insured to the same financial position they were in before the loss occurred, without providing any additional benefits or profits. Therefore, the compensation paid will be equal to the actual loss incurred by the insured.Rate this question:

Client has need to provide for the child's education cost which envisages that 4 annual payments of Rs. 20000 in current money terms would be needed beginning 15 years from now. Assuming level of inflation rated at 5% p.a. & that the fund earns 8% p.a. throught, calculate PV to be placed on the liability when carrying out a needs analysis.
- A.
Rs. 24000
- B.
Rs. 50000
- C.
Rs. 49000
- D.
Rs. 23000
Correct Answer
B. Rs. 50000Explanation
The correct answer is Rs. 50000 because in order to calculate the present value (PV) of the liability, we need to discount the future payments by the rate of inflation. The 4 annual payments of Rs. 20000 will be received 15 years from now, so we need to discount them back to present value. The inflation rate is 5% per year, so we need to divide the future payments by (1 + inflation rate)^(number of years). In this case, the present value of each payment is Rs. 20000 / (1 + 0.05)^15 = Rs. 8955. The total present value of the liability is then Rs. 8955 * 4 = Rs. 35820. However, since the fund is earning 8% per year, we also need to discount this present value back to present value using the rate of return. Rs. 35820 / (1 + 0.08)^15 = Rs. 50000.Rate this question:

A home maker is least likely to need a disability cover because they typically do not have a job or income that would be affected by a disability. Home makers primarily take care of household responsibilities and do not rely on their own income to support themselves or their family. Therefore, the risk of financial loss due to a disability is lower for a home maker compared to an avid mountaineer, sole breadwinner, or an avid painter who may depend on their physical abilities for their livelihood.Rate this question:

Only if advisor had not included the declaimer of liability in contract with investor
- B.
Only if advisor is liable under statute
- C.
Only if contract exists between advisor & investor
- D.
Only if investor relies on advice
Correct Answer
A. Only if advisor had not included the declaimer of liability in contract with investorExplanation
Professional indemnity cover protects a financial advisor who was negligent in giving investor advice only if the advisor had not included a disclaimer of liability in the contract with the investor. This means that if the advisor had included a disclaimer in the contract, they would not be protected by the professional indemnity cover. The presence of a disclaimer shifts the liability away from the advisor, making them not liable for any potential losses or damages caused by their advice. Therefore, the absence of a disclaimer in the contract is a condition for the professional indemnity cover to apply.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Measure potential lossExplanation
The terms "actual cash value," "replacement value," and "depreciation" are all factors that can be used to measure the potential loss in an insurance context. When determining the potential loss, insurance companies consider the current value of the insured item (actual cash value), the cost to replace it (replacement value), and any decrease in value over time (depreciation). By taking these factors into consideration, insurance companies can accurately assess the potential financial loss that may occur in the event of a claim.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Uncertainty in the minds of individuals regarding the outcomeExplanation
Subjective risk refers to the uncertainty or fear that individuals have about the outcome of a particular situation. It is not based on objective data or measurable factors, but rather on the individual's perception and subjective feelings. This type of risk arises when people are unsure about the potential outcome and cannot accurately predict what might happen. It is influenced by factors such as personal beliefs, experiences, and emotions, which can vary from person to person. Therefore, the answer "Uncertainty in the minds of individuals regarding the outcome" accurately explains the concept of subjective risk.Rate this question:

- D.

This means that in the event of a claim, the insurance company will not pay more than the sum assured, regardless of the actual value of the subject matter or the amount of loss incurred. The sum assured acts as a cap on the insurer's financial responsibility, ensuring that they are not obligated to pay more than the specified limit.Rate this question:

What in your judgement would be the life cover required for Mr. Joshi on the basis of each of the two approaches. Mr. Joshi is the sole income earner in the family. Mrs Rao is a home maker. They are aged 40 and 36 respectively. Life expectancy of both of them is another 40 years. They have no children. Other information you have is: current investment portfolio Rs.20lac; estimated final expenses Rs. 3.5 lac, present annual expenses is Rs. 4 Lac (including a lac of Mr. rao's personal expenses); Mr. Rao post tax income in hand Rs.3.5 lac; Assume post tax post inflation return is 3%. Calculate the insurance requirement under the needs based method.
- A.
Rs. 14.2 Lac
- B.
Rs. 14.8 Lac
- C.
Rs. 15.8 Lac
- D.
Rs. 15.4 Lac
Correct Answer
D. Rs. 15.4 LacExplanation
To calculate the insurance requirement under the needs-based method, we need to consider the following factors:
1. Final expenses: Rs. 3.5 lac
2. Present annual expenses: Rs. 4 lac
3. Mr. Rao's personal expenses: Rs. 1 lac
4. Post-tax income in hand: Rs. 3.5 lac
5. Post-tax post-inflation return: 3%
First, we calculate the total annual expenses by adding Mr. Rao's personal expenses to the present annual expenses, which gives us Rs. 5 lac.
Next, we calculate the annual income requirement by subtracting the post-tax income in hand from the total annual expenses. This gives us Rs. 1.5 lac.
To calculate the insurance requirement, we divide the annual income requirement by the post-tax post-inflation return rate. This gives us Rs. 50 lac.
Finally, we divide the insurance requirement by the life expectancy of 40 years to get the insurance cover required, which is Rs. 15.4 lac.
Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 15.4 lac.Rate this question:
