Emily wants to ensure her newly purchased house. An insurance company determines that in the next year, Emily's house has the following outlook: • 0.12% chance of suffering major damage or loss in which case the insurance company anticipates having to pay out 65,000 •2.5% chance of minor damage or loss, which would cost $5,500 The damage from recent wildfires has caused insurance premiums to rise for homes in high-risk areas. Suppose that Emily’s house is in a high-risk area. If we assume that the cost to insure this home increases by 15% every year, how much would the same policy cost Emily in 10 years

The insurance company gets information about gas leakage in several houses that use the same gas provider that your customer uses. In light of this new information, the insurance company updates the loss probabilities and estimates that the probabilities of total loss and 50% loss due to fire to be .006 and .024 respectively. Obviously, this change in the probabilities should be reflected in the annual premium to account for the added risk that the insurance company is taking. What should be the new annual premium (instead of $1,350), if the company wants to keep the same expected gain that you found in part (b)? Guidance: See part (c) of the example on page 6 of lecture #12.
