Question

A person insures his office valued at ₹5,00,000 for 80% of its value. Find the rate of premium if he pays ₹13,000 as premium. Also, find agent’s commission at 11%.

Sum

Solution

Given, Property value = ₹5,00,000,
Premium = ₹13,000
Rate of commission = 11%
Since the person insures 80% of property value,

∴ Policy value = `(80)/(100) xx 5,00,000` = ₹4,00,000

He pays ₹13,000 as premium

Amount of premium = `"Rate of premium"/(100) xx "policy value"`

∴ 13,000 = `"Rate of perimum"/(100) xx 4,00,000`

∴ Rate of perimum = `(100 xx 13,000)/(4,00,000)` = 3.25%

Agent’s rate of commission is 11% of the premium.

∴ Agent's commission = `(11)/(100) xx 13,000` = ₹1,430

∴ Rate of premium is 3.25% and agent's commission is ₹1,430.

______ insurance is not covered by general insurance


Policy value = ₹ 80,000

Period of policy = 20 years

Amount of money paid in 10 years = `square`

Annualized average rate per bonus = ₹ 20 per thousand per year

For one year, bonus = `square/1000 xx 80,000`

= ₹ 1,600

Bonus for 10 years = `10 xx square`

= ₹ 16,000

Total amount after 10 years = `square + 16000`

= ₹ `square`
