Returning a policyholder to the same economic position prior to a loss is called:
- A.
insurable interest
- B.
Indemnity
- C.
Replacement
- D.
Benefits restoration
Correct Answer
B. IndemnityExplanation
Indemnity refers to the principle of an insurance policy where the insurer compensates the policyholder for the actual financial loss suffered due to an insured event. It aims to restore the policyholder to the same economic position they were in before the loss occurred. This means that the insured is not meant to profit from the insurance claim but rather be reimbursed for the actual amount of the loss. Therefore, indemnity is the correct answer as it accurately describes the concept of returning a policyholder to their pre-loss economic position.Rate this question:

It allows the ceding company to select which risks they want to cede and negotiate the terms and conditions of each individual contract. This individualized approach ensures that each risk is assessed and priced accordingly, providing more precise coverage for the ceding company.Rate this question:

- A.
Management control rests with the board of directors

- C.
Policy holders share in the profits and losses
- D.

In a Stock Company, policy holders do not share in the profits and losses. This is because policy holders are typically individuals who purchase insurance policies from the company, and their relationship with the company is different from that of stockholders. While stockholders are the owners of the company and have a financial stake in its success, policy holders are customers who pay premiums for insurance coverage. Therefore, policy holders do not have a direct involvement in the profits and losses of the company.Rate this question:

By receiving the death proceeds, the company can use the funds to cover any financial losses or expenses that may arise due to the loss of the key person.Rate this question:
