RMIN 4000 UGA test 1 Questions and AnswersWhat is risk? - (correct answer) -a calculated possibility of a negative outcome
io io io io io io io io io io io io
What is calculated possibility? - (correct answer) -a probabilistic outcome that is known or estimated
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
(ranges from 0% to 100%)
io io io io io
What is a negative outcome? - (correct answer) -a loss that must be quantifiable
io io io io io io io io io io io io io
What is frequency? - (correct answer) -how often a loss occurs (frequency= number of losses / number
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
of exposures)
io io
What is severity? - (correct answer) -How much a loss costs when it occurs (severity = total losses ($) /
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
number of losses)
io io io
What is a peril? - (correct answer) -a cause of a loss (fire, tornado, collision)
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
What is a hazard? - (correct answer) -a condition that creates to increases the frequency and/or
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
severity of a loss but does not cause the loss
io io io io io io io io io io
What are the four types of hazards? - (correct answer) -- physical
io io io io io io io io io io io io
- moral
io
- morale
io
- legal
io
What is a physical hazard? - (correct answer) -a physical condition that increases the frequency and/or
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
severity of a loss (corrosion on pipes, too many wires plugged in to an outlet)
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
what is a moral hazard? - (correct answer) -dishonesty in an individual that increases the frequency or
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
severity of a loss. the presence of insurance changes the behavior of the insured (causing "hail"
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
damage with a hammer)
io io io io
What is a morale hazard? - (correct answer) -carelessness or indifference to a loss, which increases the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
frequency and/or severity of a loss (leaving the car keys in your unlocked car)
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
, What is a legal hazard? - (correct answer) -characteristics of the legal systems or regulatory
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
environment that increase the frequency and/or severity of a loss (juries being more sympathetic in
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
some areas)
io io
What is a pure risk? - (correct answer) -a risk in which there is no gain. the outcomes are either loss or
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
no loss
io io
what is speculative risk? - (correct answer) -a risk in which there is a possibility for gain. the outcomes
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
are either loss, no change, or gain.
io io io io io io io
What is the difference between pure and speculative risk? - (correct answer) -with speculative risk,
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
there is a chance of gain, whereas there is no chance for gain with pure risk
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
can you buy insurance for pure risks? - (correct answer) -yes
io io io io io io io io io io
can you buy insurance for speculative risks? - (correct answer) -No
io io io io io io io io io io
What is diversifiable risk? - (correct answer) -a risk that affects only individuals or small groups, not the
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
entire economy. risk is not correlated
io io io io io io
How do you reduce/eliminate diversifiable risk? - (correct answer) -diversification
io io io io io io io io io
What is nondiversifiable risk? - (correct answer) -a risk that affects the entire economy or a large group
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
of people. this cannot be reduced/eliminated through diversification. this risk is correlated.
io io io io io io io io io io io io
What is enterprise risk? - (correct answer) -encompasses all major risks faced by a business firm:
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
- pure risk
io io
- speculative risk
io io
- strategic risk
io io
- operational risk
io io
- financial risk
io io
What is systemic risk? - (correct answer) -the risk of collapse of an entire system or market due to
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
failure of a single entity or group of entities that can result in the breakdown of the entire financial
io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io io
system. this is due to the interdependency between the players in the system
io io io io io io io io io io io io io
What are the major types of pure risk? - (correct answer) -- personal risk
io io io io io io io io io io io io io
- property risk
io io
- liability risk
io io
- loss of business income
