Sarah recently purchased an auto insurance policy that includes comprehensive coverage: meaning it includes losses from both collision and anything other than collision (including theft). After a few months, her car is stolen while parked on the street. When Sarah files a claim with her insurance company, she exaggerates the value of the items inside the car. She claimed that she had a brand new MacBook Pro and a diamond necklace in the car at the time of the theft; but in reality the only items in the car were a few old textbooks and a coffee mug. Sarah’s behavior in the above scenario is an example of which of the following?

Rocko is the Risk Manager of Wacky Warehouse Inc., and he is deciding if he should purchase insurance for the company’s $1 million warehouse. He is stuck between two risk management options:  1) Retain the exposure of loss at the warehouse: which has an Expected Value (Loss) = $10,000  2) Purchase Full Insurance: which has a premium = $15,000 Full Insurance has a Policy Limit = $1,000,000 (the value of the building); and it has no deductible   Rocko utilizes non-financial decision making criteria when making his choice. After weighing the Total Cost of each risk management option, he decides to purchase the Full Insurance for $15,000.  Based on the above information, which of the following must be true? 

Homeowners insurance is indemnification against unexpected home damages. However, in class we discussed how flooding is not a covered loss event on most homeowner’s insurance contracts.  This is primarily because: 

Nimbus Energy is assessing the possibility of a failure of a critical piece of equipment at its Sarasota, FL power plant; and the corresponding losses that the equipment failures would cause. After performing a quantitative analysis of the company’s historical information in regards to equipment failures, the Risk Manager of Nimbus Energy derived the following information:  Outcome Probability  Loss ($$$) No Equipment Failure 0.70 $0 Minor Equipment Failure 0.20 $100,000 Moderate Equipment Failure 0.095 $250,000 Major Equipment Failure 0.005 $1,500,000   Question #1:  What is the Expected Value (Loss) for the failure of a piece of critical equipment at Nimbus Energy’s – Sarasota, FL plant?  = [choice1]   Question #2: The Risk Manager wants to compare the risk between the company’s Sarasota, FL power plant and the company’s largest power plant in Tampa, FL. After performing even further quantitative analysis, the Risk Manager of Nimbus Energy derived the following information about the two power plants:  Sarasota, FL Power Plant: Expected Value (Loss) = calculated above in Question #1 Standard Deviation = $128,125 Tampa, FL Power Plant:  Expected Value (Loss) = $225,000 Standard Deviation = $398,775   Which one of the two power plants poses MORE risk (uncertainty) of equipment failure; as determined by the most critical objective measure of risk? (or worded another way the equalizing measure of dispersion) And what is the numerical value of the most critical objective measure of risk?  = [choice2]
