An insurance company sells a $17,500, three-year term life insurance policy to an individual for $675. Find the expected return for the company if the probability the individual will live for the next three years is 0.99. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
P(Die in three years) = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01
Hence,
Expected return for the company
= $675 * 0.99 - $(17500 - 675) * 0.01
= $ 500
