Question 1 Medium
In implementing a rating plan, what is the primary purpose of a minimum premium?
Solution
B is correct. A minimum premium is a floor applied when the premium produced by the rating algorithm is very small. It ensures that every policy contributes enough to cover the fixed expenses and the basic cost of providing coverage, which do not scale down proportionally with a tiny exposure.
