Sam is applying for a single year life insurance policy worth $60,900.00. If the actuarial tables determine that she will survive the next year with probability 0.996 , what is her expected value for the life insurance policy if the premium is $331.00 ?
--- Answer in monetary value$ must have exactly two decimal places
policy worth after death = $60,900
Policy premium for 1 year = $331
P(survival in 1 year) = 0.996
Thus, P(death in 1 year) = 1 - 0.996 = 0.004
Now, Sam's expected value for the life insurance policy
= policy worth after death *P(death in 1 year) - policy premium for 1 year*P(survival in 1 year)
= 60900*0.004 - 331*0.996
= 60900*0.004 - 331*0.996
= -86.08
Thus, answer is - $86.08
