  4. D
    Investing in an aggressive marketing campaign with the chance of either losing the investment or significantly increasing ticket sales represents a transfer of an insurable pure risk.

Cevap

The accurate statements are that canceling the snowmobile exhibition represents risk avoidance, and mandating safety harnesses represents risk reduction.
The correct statements accurately identify that completely halting a dangerous activity to prevent liability is risk avoidance, and implementing safety protocols to minimize injury severity is risk reduction.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the cancellation of the snowmobile jumping exhibition.
Completely eliminating a specific activity to ensure zero exposure to its associated liability is risk avoidance.
Risk avoidance means not undertaking the activity that creates the risk in the first place.
2
Evaluate the $20,000 internal cash fund.
Choosing to pay for losses out-of-pocket is classified as risk retention, not risk reduction.
Risk reduction involves minimizing the chance or severity of a loss, whereas retention involves absorbing the financial impact of the loss when it occurs.
3
Evaluate the mandated safety harnesses and inspections.
Using physical safety devices and protocols lowers the frequency and severity of injuries, which is risk reduction.
Risk reduction aims to mitigate the potential damage or likelihood of an event without completely avoiding the activity.
4
Evaluate the aggressive marketing campaign investment.
Marketing investments can result in financial gain or loss, making them a speculative risk.
Insurance is designed to handle pure risks (chance of loss only). Speculative risks are uninsurable.
