Consider a population of 1,200 individuals. Within this population, there are three types of individuals. The number of each type and its expected healthcare costs are listed in the table below, Types of individuals Number of individuals Expected healthcare costs Very healthy 400 $200 Moderate healthy 400 $800 Unhealthy  400 $1,500 Assume that all individuals are in the same risk pool for health insurance and that the insurer uses community rating. If we consider a strong individual mandate to purchase health insurance and all 1,200 individuals enter the risk pool, what is the “break-even” premium of this risk pool? (please round your answer to the nearest dollar) [p1]   Now suppose the penalty for not purchasing health insurance is less than the cost in question 1, and only 30% of the very healthy individuals, 80% of the moderately healthy individuals, and 100% of the unhealthy individuals enroll (as shown in the table below).  Types of individuals Number of individuals Expected healthcare costs Very healthy 120 $200 Moderate healthy 320 $800 Unhealthy  400 $1,500 What is the “break-even” premium of this risk pool under a weaker mandate? (please round your answer to the nearest dollar) [p2]

Person C faces a 50% chance of having a loss of $0 and a 50% chance of having a loss of $8.   Suppose a risk pool contains Person A and Person B only. Which of the following statements is(are) TRUE? I. In this risk pool, there is income transfer from those who do not have a loss to those who have a loss II.

Consider a firm that has $10 in inventory.  They are considering two options with respect to the storage of this inventory.  Option A would have them store the entire inventory in one warehouse.  If it stores its inventory in a single warehouse, they are exposed to the risk of fire.   Assume that there is a 50% chance of a fire occurring, which would destroy their entire inventory.  Assume also that there is a 50% chance of having no fire. What is the expected loss for option A?  [exA] Derive the amount of risk (C.O.V) associated with option A. (Please round your answer to two decimal place) [COVA] Option B would have them split their entire inventory evenly across two warehouses; in other words, they would store $5 inventory in each warehouse.  Assume now that each warehouse individually faces the same probability distribution for severity [i.e., a 50% chance of losing the entire inventory and a 50% chance of losing nothing]. What is the expected loss for option B? [exB] Derive the amount of risk (C.O.V) associated with option B. (Please round your answer to two decimal place) [COVB]

Consider a firm that has $8 in inventory.  They are considering two options with respect to the storage of this inventory.  Option A would have them store the entire inventory in one warehouse.  If it stores its inventory in a single warehouse, they are exposed to the risk of fire.   Assume that there is a 50% chance of a fire occurring, which would destroy their entire inventory.  Assume also that there is a 50% chance of having no fire.

(Please round your answer to two decimal place) [COVA] Option B would have them split their entire inventory evenly across two warehouses; in other words, they would store $4 inventory in each warehouse.  Assume now that each warehouse individually faces the same probability distribution for severity [i.e., a 50% chance of losing the entire inventory and a 50% chance of losing nothing].
