Calculate the cost of actuarially fair insurance if this individual’s current income is $200,000. Illustrate your answer and show that this individual prefers to fair insurance to self insuring. b. Suppose that two types of insurance policies are available. Policy 1 is fair insurance covering complete loss. Policy 2 is fair insurance covering half of the loss incurred. Demonstrate that this individual will prefer policy 1 to policy 2. c.
