Assume that the insurer can NOT distinguish between the two types of consumers, and can offer only one policy (the same policy to everyone). What will be the breakeven policy premium IF everyone buys the policy? With such a premium, will everyone actually buy the policy? Over long run, what will be the equilibrium policy premium in the market and who will get insurance?

An insurance company sets its annual premium on its life insurance policies so that it makes an expected profit of 1 percent of the amount it would have to pay out upon death. Find the annual premium on a $200,000 life insurance policy for an individual who will die during the year with probability 0.02.

A man wishes to purchase a 5-year term-life insurance policy that will pay the beneficiary $20,000 in the event that the man's death occurs during the next 5 years. Using life insurance tables, he determines that the probability that he will live another 5 years is 0.96. What is the minimum amount that he can expect to pay for his premium? Hint: The minimum premium occurs when the insurance company's expected profit is zero.
