Will this insurance company make a profit?

2016-07-30 6:26 pm
Let's say that 20 out of 100 drivers had a car accident. If the average accident cost the insurance company $1500 and the insurance company charges $800 per policy, will the company make a profit?

Can somebody pls explain how to solve this?

.2*1500= $300
this means there is a $300 loss per customer overall. As they are charging 800, they are making a profit of 500 per customer.

100 policies sold will net the company $80,000 in premiums. Those 100 policies can expect to experience 20 accidents, totalling 20*$1500 = $30,000 in costs.

Premium revenues are expected to exceed costs.
_____
Whether the company makes a profit depends on many other things, but this is a good start.

___
Another way to look at this is to consider the expected payout per customer. That is ...
.. (20/100)*1500 = $300
Since the customer pays $800 in premiums, the company should be able to make a profit.
