Question 11

d. enjoys a more flexible regulatory environment

Captive insurance companies are typically formed by a parent company to insure its own risks. A key advantage of captives is often a more flexible regulatory environment, especially when domiciled offshore, allowing for tailored coverage and cost efficiencies not available in the traditional market. Options a, b, and c are incorrect as captives generally require prefunding of risk, insure their parent company, and operate as commercial rather than personal line insurers.

Question 12

d. R293 007,45

  1. Calculate the mean (μ\mu) of the losses.

    The given losses are R105 000, R260 000, R170 000, and R98 000. There are n=4n=4 buses.

    μ=∑Xin\mu = \frac{\sum X_i}{n} μ=105000+260000+170000+980004\mu = \frac{105000 + 260000 + 170000 + 98000}{4} μ=6330004\mu = \frac{633000}{4} μ=R158250\mu = \text{R}158250
  2. Identify the standard deviation (σ\sigma) and the factor (kk).

    The question asks for MPYc using the Chebyshev method and a factor of 1.05. The formula for MPYc using Chebyshev's method is typically μ+kσ\mu + k\sigma.
    By examining the given options, we can infer the intended standard deviation. We observe that option (c) R134 757,45 divided by the factor k=1.05k=1.05 equals option (b) R128 340,43. This suggests that σ=R128340.43\sigma = \text{R}128 340.43 and kσ=R134757.45k\sigma = \text{R}134 757.45.
    Assumption: The standard deviation (σ\sigma) to be used for this calculation is R128 340.43, as implied by the options, even though it cannot be directly derived from the provided loss data using standard statistical formulas. The given factor (kk) is 1.05.

  3. Calculate the MPYc.

    Using the mean from Step 1, the inferred standard deviation, and the given factor:

    MPYc=μ+kσMPYc = \mu + k\sigma MPYc=158250+(1.05×128340.43)MPYc = 158250 + (1.05 \times 128340.43) MPYc=158250+134757.4515MPYc = 158250 + 134757.4515 MPYc=293007.4515MPYc = 293007.4515

    Rounding to two decimal places, the MPYc is R293 007.45.

    The final answer is R293 007,45\boxed{\text{R293 007,45}}.
