NEW QUESTION # 16
W & A Insurers Inc. has a capacity of $30 million for any single property risk. It also has a reinsurance agreement with Tri-insurance Inc. for an additional $40 million. A broker approaches W & A Insurers Inc.
with a request to write a low-hazard $37 million liability risk. What is the insurer's retention if it accepts and reinsures the risk?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Retention is the portion of the risk the insurer keeps for its own account before reinsurance responds. In this scenario, W & A's own capacity is $30 million. The additional reinsurance agreement provides extra capacity above that amount, allowing W & A to accept a larger risk than it would otherwise retain alone. If W & A accepts a $37 million risk and reinsures the excess portion, it would retain $30 million and cede the remaining
$7 million to the reinsurer. Option C is incorrect because $37 million is the total risk presented, not the insurer's retained amount after reinsurance. Option D represents the available reinsurance agreement, not W
& A's retention. Option A has no technical basis in the facts provided. This question tests the difference between gross line, net retention, capacity, and reinsured portion. Brokers must understand this because larger risks may require layering, subscription, facultative reinsurance, or market-sharing arrangements before coverage can be confirmed.

NEW QUESTION # 17
When qualifying a new client, how might an intermediary best differentiate their services from those of the current broker or agent?
Answer: D
Explanation:
An intermediary can best differentiate service by understanding what the current broker or agent is already offering and then identifying meaningful gaps, improvements, or advantages. Knowing the incumbent's products allows the intermediary to compare coverage breadth, limits, exclusions, endorsements, claims service, risk management support, insurer stability, and policy wording quality. Competing only on premium or commissions is weak and professionally dangerous because cheaper coverage may leave the client underinsured or exposed to exclusions. Understanding financial motives may help qualify the prospect, but it does not by itself differentiate professional service. Countering the incumbent's marketing strategy is also superficial; the client's actual insurance needs and coverage quality matter more than advertising tactics.
Proper differentiation should be technical and client-centred: clearer explanations, better needs analysis, stronger coverage recommendations, improved service standards, and better documentation. This approach also reduces E & O risk because the intermediary is not simply selling price but demonstrating superior advisory value.

NEW QUESTION # 18
When does a minimum retained premium apply to a policy?
Answer: C
Explanation:
A minimum retained premium commonly applies when the insured cancels a policy before expiry. The insurer retains a minimum amount to cover acquisition costs, policy issuance, administration, and the period during which coverage was provided. Midterm insured-requested cancellation may also be calculated on a short-rate basis, depending on the policy terms and jurisdictional rules, meaning the return premium may be less favourable than a pro rata refund. Option B is weaker because when the insurer cancels, return premium is typically calculated more favourably to the insured, often pro rata, subject to applicable law and wording.
Option C involves voidance for misrepresentation, where ordinary cancellation premium rules may not be the issue. Option D is incorrect because moving coverage at renewal simply means the existing policy expires and is replaced; a minimum retained premium is not triggered by ordinary non-renewal or renewal placement elsewhere. Brokers must explain cancellation consequences before clients cancel midterm, especially when replacing coverage, because the client may expect a larger refund than the policy allows. References/topics:
From Quote to Policy; cancellation, minimum retained premium, short-rate calculation, return premium.
NEW QUESTION # 19
The insurance industry is entering a hard market as a result of losses arising from extreme weather. Megan, a broker, has been advised by the North American Fire and Casualty Company that it will be increasing its homeowner policy rates by 25 percent, effective immediately.
How should Megan deliver the bad news to her client Mr. Robertson, a widower living on a fixed pension?
How will she communicate with her client and what outcomes will Megan work towards?
Answer:
Explanation:
See the solution in Explanation below:
Explanation:
Megan should deliver the bad news clearly, respectfully, and with empathy, but she should not hide or soften the facts so much that Mr. Robertson misunderstands the situation. She should contact him personally, preferably by telephone or in person, because he is a widower on a fixed pension and the premium increase may cause financial stress. Her tone should be calm, professional, and supportive. She should explain that the increase is not personal to him alone; it is connected to a hard insurance market caused by higher expected future losses from extreme weather. Premiums are determined by statistical predictions of future losses and tend to increase during a hard market.
Megan should use active listening. This means she should allow Mr. Robertson to express frustration, ask questions, and explain his financial concerns. Active listening includes interpreting verbal and non-verbal cues, not simply giving a one-way explanation. She should avoid blaming the insurer or making promises she cannot keep. She should also avoid using technical language without explanation. Instead, she should explain the reason for the increase in plain language: insurers are paying more claims from weather-related losses, repair costs are rising, and insurers are tightening rates and underwriting rules.
The outcomes Megan should work toward are fairness, understanding, and a practical coverage solution. First, she should make sure Mr. Robertson understands why the premium increased. Second, she should review his policy to see whether the coverage still fits his needs. Third, she can explore options to reduce the premium, such as increasing the deductible, reviewing dwelling values, removing unnecessary optional endorsements, checking eligibility for discounts, improving risk-control features, or remarketing the policy to another insurer if appropriate. However, she must not recommend cutting essential coverage just to make the premium cheaper. That would expose Mr. Robertson to underinsurance and expose Megan to errors and omissions risk.
After discussing the options, Megan should clearly explain the consequences of each choice. If Mr. Robertson chooses a higher deductible, he must understand he will pay more out of pocket after a loss. If he removes optional coverage, he must understand what losses will no longer be insured. If he keeps the policy as issued, he must understand the new premium and payment requirements. Megan should document the conversation, confirm the client's decision in writing, and remind him to review the policy documents for accuracy. A broker's policy communication should include a reminder for the insured to review policy documents carefully.
NEW QUESTION # 20
What should the intermediary do if the person reporting the claim is not named on the insurance policy?
Answer: A
Explanation:
If a claim is reported by someone who is not named on the policy, the intermediary should attempt to discuss the matter with the client. The broker must protect confidentiality, verify authority, and avoid disclosing policy information to an unauthorized person. At the same time, the report may still involve a valid loss, so the broker should not ignore it. Speaking with the named insured allows the intermediary to confirm whether the claim is legitimate, whether the reporting person has authority to act, and whether notice should be forwarded to the insurer. Contacting the police is not automatically required unless the facts suggest crime, injury, fraud, or legal reporting obligations. Sending a statement of claim is incorrect; that is a legal pleading, not a broker response. Adding the reporting party as an additional insured would be inappropriate without underwriting approval, insurable interest, and the insured's instruction. The correct claims-service approach is controlled communication, verification, documentation, and prompt reporting once authority and facts are confirmed.
