4. Tyler just wrecked his new Nissan, and the accident was his fault. The owner of the other vehicle got two estimates for the repairs: one was for $803 and the other was for $852. Tyler is thinking of keeping the insurance companies out of the incident to keep his driving record “clean.” Tyler’s deductible on his comprehensive coverage insurance is $500, and he does not want his premium to increase because of the accident.

In this regard, Tyler estimates that his semi-annual premium will rise by $60 if he files a claim against his insurance company. In view of the above information, Tyler’s initial decision is to write a personal check for $803 payable to the owner of the other vehicle.
