You will be introduced to some key terminology and then walk through a simplified insurance scenario of pricing a Mobile Device Warranty. You’ll address the questions of, “Why do we buy insurance?” and “What are the considerations in determining the right charge for insurance coverage?” Finally, you’ll explore why it’s important to understand your varying segments of risk and adjust your pricing structure to reflect these differences.
