c. What is the difference in cost? [tex]$\square$[/tex]



Answer :

Certainly, let's tackle this step-by-step:

### a. Premium for a twenty-one-year-old single man who owns his car, purchasing insurance in the amount of 50/100/10
Given:
- Class: 2B (Unmarried male driver under 25 who is owner of the car)
- Bodily Injury Coverage: [tex]$50,000 / $[/tex]100,000[tex]$ - Property Damage Coverage: $[/tex]10,000[tex]$ From the table provided: - Bodily Injury for 50/100: $[/tex](Class\,2B)[tex]$ $[/tex]917.90
- Property Damage for \[tex]$10,000: $[/tex](Class\,2B)[tex]$ $[/tex]180.00

To find the total cost, we add the bodily injury coverage and the property damage coverage:
[tex]\[ 917.90 (Bodily Injury) + 180.00 (Property Damage) \][/tex]

So, the total cost for insurance in the amount of [tex]$50,000 / $[/tex]100,000[tex]$ bodily injury and $[/tex]10,000[tex]$ property damage is: \[ 1097.90 \] ### b. Cost to purchase insurance in the amount of 100/300/25 Given: - Class: 2B (Unmarried male driver under 25 who is owner of the car) - Bodily Injury Coverage: $[/tex]100,000 / [tex]$300,000$[/tex]
- Property Damage Coverage: [tex]$25,000$[/tex]

From the table provided:
- Bodily Injury for 100/300: [tex]$(Class\,2B)$[/tex] [tex]$976.96 - Property Damage for \$[/tex]25,000: [tex]$(Class\,2B)$[/tex] [tex]$196.60 To find the total cost, we add the bodily injury coverage and the property damage coverage: \[ 976.96 (Bodily Injury) + 196.60 (Property Damage) \] So, the total cost for insurance in the amount of $[/tex]100,000 / [tex]$300,000$[/tex] bodily injury and [tex]$25,000$[/tex] property damage is:
[tex]\[ 1173.56 \][/tex]

### c. Difference in cost
The difference in cost is obtained by subtracting the cost of the lower coverage from the higher coverage:
[tex]\[ 1173.56 - 1097.90 \][/tex]

So, the difference in cost for upgrading the insurance policy from 50/100/10 to 100/300/25 is:
[tex]\[ 75.66 \][/tex]

### Summary
a. The premium for a twenty-one-year-old single man who owns his car, purchasing insurance in the amount of 50/100/10 is [tex]$1097.90 b. The cost to purchase insurance in the amount of $[/tex]100/300/25 is [tex]$1173.56 c. The difference in cost between the two insurance coverages is $[/tex]75.66
