Assume that Big Mutual Insurance expects losses of $500,000,000 over 3,100,000 units. In its ratemaking function, Big Mutual uses a 35% expense ratio. Compute the Pure Premium and Gross Rate for Big Mutual.
Pure premium = 500,000,000 /3100,000
Pure premium = 161.29
Gross rate = Pure premium / (1- expense ratio)
Gross rate = 161.29 / (1 - 0.35)
Gross rate = 248.14
