- A.
The loss produced by the risk must be definite
- B.
The lost may be intentional
- C.
The loss must not be catastrophic
- D.
There must be sufficient number of homogeneous exposure units to make losses reasonably predictable
Correct Answer
B. The lost may be intentionalExplanation
The explanation for the given correct answer is that one of the requirements for a risk to be a proper subject for insurance is that the loss must not be intentional. Insurance is designed to provide coverage for unforeseen and accidental losses, not losses that are intentionally caused by the insured. Intentional losses are considered fraudulent and are not insurable. Therefore, the requirement that the loss may be intentional contradicts the principles of insurance.Rate this question:

For the reported losses of an insured group to become more likely to equal the statistical probability of loss for that particular class, the insured group must become
- A.
More active
- B.
Larger
- C.
Smaller
- D.
Older
Correct Answer
B. LargerExplanation
In order for the reported losses of an insured group to become more likely to equal the statistical probability of loss for that particular class, the insured group must become larger. This is because as the group size increases, the likelihood of experiencing losses that align with the statistical probability also increases. With a larger group, there is a greater chance of experiencing a variety of different losses, which helps to balance out the statistical probability and make it more likely for the reported losses to align with it.Rate this question:

What method do insurers use to protect themselves against catastrophic losses?
- A.

Insurers use reinsurance as a method to protect themselves against catastrophic losses. Reinsurance involves transferring a portion of the insurance risk to another insurer, known as the reinsurer. This helps spread the risk and reduces the financial burden on the primary insurer in the event of a large-scale or catastrophic loss. By purchasing reinsurance, insurers can mitigate their exposure to extreme events and ensure their financial stability in challenging situations.Rate this question:

- A.
Based on the prudent person rule
- B.
In favor of the insured

This means that any doubts or uncertainties will be resolved in a way that benefits the policyholder rather than the insurance company. This interpretation is done to ensure that the insured party is protected and receives the intended benefits from the insurance contract.Rate this question:

The cash accumulation feature allows the policy to build up a savings component, providing a source of funds that can be used for various purposes such as supplementing retirement income or paying for unexpected expenses. Unlike term life insurance, which only provides coverage for a specific period, whole life insurance offers both a death benefit and a cash value component.Rate this question:

To reduce adverse selection, insurers may require evidence of insurability when an employee wants to enter the group outside of the open enrollment period. This means that the employee would need to provide proof that they are in good health and insurable. By doing so, the insurer can ensure that only individuals who are relatively healthy and low-risk are allowed to join the group outside of the designated enrollment period. This helps to balance the risk pool and prevent individuals with pre-existing conditions or higher health risks from disproportionately enrolling in the group.Rate this question:

Which policy component decreases in decreasing term insurance
- A.
Cash value
- B.
Dividend
- C.

Face amount
Correct Answer
D. Face amountExplanation
In decreasing term insurance, the face amount decreases over time. This means that the amount of coverage provided by the policy decreases as the policyholder pays off their debts or as they age. The cash value, dividend, and premium do not decrease in this type of policy. The cash value refers to the savings component of a permanent life insurance policy, which is not applicable in decreasing term insurance. Dividends are typically associated with participating policies, not term insurance. The premium is the amount paid by the policyholder to maintain the coverage, and it remains the same throughout the term of the policy.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Insurance and cash accountExplanation
The two components of a universal policy are insurance and cash account.

The cash account, on the other hand, is a separate account within the policy where the policyholder can accumulate cash value over time. This cash value can be used for various purposes such as borrowing against it or withdrawing it. Together, these two components make up a universal policy, providing both insurance protection and a cash accumulation feature.Rate this question:

The premium of a survivorship life policy compared with that of a joint policy would be
- A.
Half the amount
- B.
Lower
- C.
Higher
- D.

Correct Answer
B. LowerExplanation
The premium of a survivorship life policy is lower compared to that of a joint policy because in a survivorship policy, the death benefit is paid out only after both insured individuals pass away. This reduces the risk for the insurance company, resulting in a lower premium. In contrast, a joint policy pays out the death benefit when the first insured individual passes away, which increases the risk for the insurance company and leads to a higher premium.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. The payable premium amount steadily declines throughout the duration of the contractExplanation
A decreasing term policy is a type of life insurance where the death benefit decreases over time. This means that the face amount steadily declines throughout the duration of the contract. The policy pays out only in the event of death during the term and there is no cash value. However, the payable premium amount does not steadily decline throughout the duration of the contract. The premium amount remains the same throughout the term of the policy.Rate this question:

This flexibility is one of the key features of universal life insurance, as it allows policyholders to adjust their premium payments according to their financial situation. The cash value in the policy can be built up over time through the accumulation of premiums and can be used to cover future premium payments or be withdrawn by the policyholder.Rate this question:

A debtor group
- B.
A group needing low-cost life insurance
- C.
A group sponsored by an employer
- D.
An alumni group
Correct Answer
B. A group needing low-cost life insuranceExplanation
Group life insurance is typically offered to groups such as employees of a company, members of an alumni group, or individuals sponsored by an employer. These groups usually have a common bond or affiliation. A debtor group, on the other hand, may not meet the criteria for group life insurance as their primary need is to cover their debts rather than provide life insurance coverage. Therefore, a group needing low-cost life insurance may also be eligible for group life insurance, making it the exception in this list.Rate this question:

The insurance company may adjust the payout based on the correct age of the insured at the time of purchasing the policy.Rate this question:
