WHEN APPLYING FOR AN INSURANCE POLICY...

When you apply for an insurance policy, you will be asked all sorts of questions. For example, the agent will ask you demographic questions such as your age, gender, address, etc. You will also be asked questions which will be used to determine what type of risk you are. For example, when a company is deciding whether or not to offer you automobile insurance, it will want to know about your driving record, whether you have any recent accidents or tickets, and what type of car you drive. This information will help them decide whether your profile is consistent with the type of risks they are trying to attract. Some insurers specialize in offering insurance only to very safe drivers and will only accept applications from people who fit the profile of a safe driver. Once the insurer has decided your profile is consistent with the types of risks it accepts, your information will be used to determine which rate to charge you. For example, the company will decide whether you should be offered insurance at the high-risk driver rate or the low-risk driver rate. Collectively, this entire process is known as the underwriting process. Once a company's underwriting department has decided to offer you insurance, it next determines the "quality" of the risk so the proper premium can be charged. That is, high-risk people should pay more than low-risk people.

According to the text,

A) a safe driver will not be asked questions.

B)

accidents and tickets prevent drivers from applying for an insurance.

C)

the applicant's profile relates exclusively to his educational background.

D)

policy holders guarantee the quality of the risk involved.

E)

high-risk drivers might be refused by some insurers.

INSURANCE AGENTS

Insurers deliver their insurance products to policyowners primarily through independent or exclusive agents. Historically, almost all insurance agents were independent business people paid on commission. More recently, many insurance companies have adopted a system where the agent is a paid employee of the firm. These agents are referred to as exclusive agents. Economists studying the differences between these two distribution systems have long argued that the independent agency system is a less efficient method of getting the product to the customer as measured by the ratio of expenses incurred to premiums written and other statistics. But recent studies suggest the reason for the higher expenses with independent agents is that they offer higher quality to policyowners through more personalized service, more advice on policy limits as well as more help when a claim is filed with the company. So one thing you could consider is how much guidance and service you want.

The author

A)

has proposed higher investments in the exclusive system in the future.

B)

suggests that policy holders must provide more personalized feedback.

C)

has shown two distinguishable systems of distribution.

D)

has been researching alternative ways of filing a claim.

E)

has devised two distinguishable systems of distribution.

Shocks to the system

At the start of the year, it was not uncommon to hear businessmen saying that Brazil was enjoying its best economic conditions for a generation. The country appeared to be well on the way to a period of sustained economic expansion. Most economists were looking to another strong year of growth, with gross domestic product expanding by 4.5 per cent in 2001, on top of 4 per cent in 2000. Real interest rates were about to fall to single digits for the first time in decades.

However, within just a few months, the outlook for the Brazilian economy has deteriorated dramatically. A whole series of unexpected factors are to blame. "We have been confronted by a series of shocks", admits Armínio Fraga, president of the central bank.

The main cause of this turnaround has been the energy crisis. It had been well known for several years that Brazil ran the risk of power shortages because the expansion of capacity was not accompanying growth in demand, leaving the reservoirs that fuel the power stations precariously low. Yet, even with so much advance warning, the introduction of rationing still came as a surprise.

According to the text,

A) the energy crisis made interest rates decrease.

B)

the president of the central bank predicted the crisis.

C) Brazil was able to avert the energy crisis.

D) more than one element affected Brazil's economy.

E) advance warning could have avoided the crisis.
