ECON1056: What is the maximum price the company can charge a household for an income insurance policy?: Managerial and Business Economics Report, RMIT, Singapore

 Scenario
Our client, MirageCorp, is an insurance company considering launching an `income insurance’ product in the nation of Aqualand. Income insurance is a product that fully insures a household against changes in income caused by a major injury or illness.

At present, no businesses are selling income insurance products in Aqualand. Initial market research suggests that there are a total of 3,600 households in Aqualand and all of them are interested in purchasing income insurance.
Your client expects that the xed cost of launching the income insurance product will be $2,700,000 per year, and that each policy issued to a customer will cost the company an additional $500 in sales commissions.

2.1 Your task
Your client wants you to analyse the potential market for income insurance and report on the following:

• What is the maximum price the company can charge a household for an income insurance policy?
• What is the expected prot (or loss) for the company if it becomes a monopoly provider of income insurance?
• Is there a risk that rival insurance companies will also enter the market, selling
  identical income insurance products? If so, what would be the expected prot of your client? (You should assume that any competitors would face the same costs as your client.)
