Study Tips

Alice's Pro-Tip: Appendix E is mainly for review and extra practice for material covered in chapter 9 of the main part of the Werner.

Forum   You can probably skip this chapter without missing anything. If you don't want to skip, spend 15 minutes looking over the 2-page exhibit (link further down.) It's a good, quick test to see if you have an overall understanding of the pure premium method. If you can understand the exhibit "at a glance" and see where all the different pieces fit, then you're ready to slay th beast.

The exam problem in the BattleTable is also a good review and may take another 15 minutes to solve.

Estimated study time: 30 minutes

BattleTable

Based on past exams, the main things you need to know (in rough order of importance) are:

E (2016.Spring #10) territorial relativities
- revenue-neutral change
multivariate methods
- benefits 1
1 This answer to this questions is in Pricing - Chapter 10 - Benefits of Multivariate Methods.

In Plain English!

Below is a link to the complete Appendix E from Werner which is only 4 pages long.

  • There first 2 pages are just a review of chapter 9 material.
  • The last 2 pages show an example of the pure premium method

It might be an idea to spend maybe 15 minutes reviewing the 2-page exhibit just to make sure you have a good overall understanding of the method. Don't spend too long here.
