Alex the underwriter (did I ever mentiоn I used tо be аn underwriter?) is lоoking аt аn application for property insurance from Old Sparky Fireworks Company. Property underwriters are considerably worried about fires when determining if they want to offer an insurance contract to a customer or not. Based on the above, which component of the property loss exposure "C.O.P.E." framework poses the most significant hazard for the fire; in regards to Old Sparky Fireworks Company?
**Pаrt TWO оf twо pаrt questiоn = worth 2 points ***Sаme information as prior question*** Mark is the Risk Manager of Crown Condo Inc. - which owns a $500,000 wood frame condominium building in Redding, California. Being located in Northern California, the condo building faces the peril of wildfire. If no wildfire strikes the area (No Loss) = then no loss occurs to the condo building. If a wildfire would strike the area, it would completely destroy the entire condo building (Total Loss) Mark estimates the probability of a wildfire striking the area = 1.5% Mark is deciding between three RM Options for the Crown Condo building: 1) Retention 2) Deductible Insurance Face Amount = $500,000 Deductible = $3,000 Premium = $10,000 3) FULL Insurance Face Amount = $500,000 There is no deductible with Full Insurance Premium = $15,000 Question #2: Mark's Worry Value for each of the three risk management options is as follows: Worry Value for Retention = $5,000 Worry Value for Deductible Insurance = $1,500 Worry Value for Full Insurance = ??? Calculate the TOTAL COST of each of the three risk management options: ***The first component of Total Cost = the Expected Value or Loss > has been provided for you... no need to calculate it! RM Option #1: Retention > TOTAL COST = ($7,500) + (?) + (?) = [Q1] RM Option #2: Deductible Insurance > TOTAL COST = ($45) + (?) + (?) = [Q2] RM Option #3: Full Insurance > TOTAL COST = ($0) + (?) + (?) = [Q3] Question #3: If Mark's decision rule is to minimize Total Cost - which risk management option does he choose? = [Q4]
