Answer 1

insurance company will pay $75 to Alfred.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Actual cost of camera = $200

Alfred cost of camera = $150

Life expectancy = 6 years

solution

we get here first Remain life of camera that is

Remain life of camera = 6 years - 3 years

Remain life of camera = 3 years

and

now we get here current cost of the camera that is

current cost of camera = Alfred cost of camera × (Remain life of camera ÷ Life expectancy) ........................1

put here value and we get

Current cost of camera = $150 ×
`(3)/(6)`

Current cost of camera = $75

so that insurance company will pay $75 to Alfred.
