A company receives $20 million in premiums during the year and pays out $12 million in claims. What is the company's loss ratio?

The correct answer is: 60%

To calculate the loss ratio, you need to determine the proportion of claims paid out relative to the premiums earned. The loss ratio is calculated using the formula: Loss Ratio = (Claims Paid / Premiums Earned) x 100% In this scenario, the company has received $20 million in premiums and paid out $12 million in claims. Using the formula: Loss Ratio = ($12 million / $20 million) x 100% = 0.6 x 100% = 60% This result shows that 60% of the premiums collected were used to pay claims. A loss ratio of 60% indicates that the company has a significant portion of its premiums going towards covering claims, which is an important measure for insurance companies to assess their financial health and operational efficiency.
