Consider a different insurance company that does not have the inclination to tailor contracts specifically to individuals. Instead, it will offer a "standard contract" with the premium r=$100 and payout q=$500 to anyone who will purchase it?

ANSWERS FOR

a1) Premium (r) = $100 Payout (q)= $500 Healthy state Income Ih = $500 Sick stateIncome IS = $0 Probability of Illness = 0.10

Fair contract = Premium (r ) = prob.(p) x payout (q) Unfair contact = Premium (r ) > prob.(p) x payout (q Unfair contract = $100 > .10 x $500 Unfair contact = $100 > $50 Expected profit = healthy income (Ih) - premium(r) Expected profit= $500 -$100 = $400 Expected profit = Sick income (IS) - premium(r) + payout(q) Expected profit = $0 - $100 + $500 Sick state income = $400 Its unfair contact Profit = $400 b.

Premium (r) = $100 Payout (q)= $500 Healthy state Income Ih = $500 Sick stateIncome IS = $0 Probability of Illness = 0.20

Fair contract = Premium (r ) = prob.(p) x payout (q) Unfair contact = Premium (r ) > prob.(p) x payout (q fair contract = $100 = 0.20 x $500 fair contact = $100 = $100 Expected profit = premium(r) - prob.(p) x payout(q) Expected profit= $100 - 0.20 x $500 Expected profit = $0 Its fair contact Profit = $0 c.

Premium (r) = $100 Payout (q)= $500 Healthy state Income Ih = $1000 Sick stateIncome IS = $0 Probability of Illness = 0.20

Fair contract = Premium (r ) = prob.(p) x payout (q) Unfair contact = Premium (r ) > prob.(p) x payout (q fair contract = $100 = .20 x $500 fair contact = $100= $100
