In: Accounting
calculate the one-year premium for an auto policy, given the facts below.
Anticipated losses = $8,000,000
Number of autos insured = 200,000
Anticipated expenses = $2,000,000
Desired factor for reserves and profit = 4%
Anticipated losses = $8,000,000
Anticipated expenses = $2,000,000
Total of anticipated expenses and losses = $10,000,000
Number of autos insured =200,000
Allocate anticipated sum to each auto = $10,000,000 / 200,000 = $50
Desired factor for reserves and profits = $50*4% = $2
So premium would be = $50+2=$52
I hope this will help you.
