1. A Florida restaurant owner installs an automatic sprinkler system
and alarm monitoring after a neighboring business suffers a
kitchen fire. Which risk management technique is the owner
primarily employing?
A. Transfer
B. Retention
C. Reduction
D. Avoidance
Correct answer: C
RATIONALE: Reduction (loss control or mitigation) decreases
either the likelihood of a loss (frequency) or its dollar impact (severity).
Installing sprinklers and alarms is a textbook reduction measure.
Transfer requires insurance or a contract shifting financial consequences;
retention means absorbing the loss intentionally; avoidance means
eliminating the activity entirely.
2. After reviewing its loss exposure, a Florida specialty insurer
determines that writing new policies on barrier-island
manufactured homes is no longer viable. The company stops
binding that class of business entirely. Which risk management
technique does this represent?
A. Avoidance
B. Retention
C. Transfer
D. Reduction
, Correct answer: A
RATIONALE: Avoidance means eliminating a risk by not engaging
in the activity that creates it. By withdrawing entirely from writing new
barrier-island manufactured home policies, the insurer avoids the risk.
Retention would mean continuing to hold the exposure.
3. Which principle requires that both parties to an insurance contract
provide full and honest disclosure of all material facts?
A. Utmost good faith
B. Indemnity
C. Subrogation
D. Insurable interest
Correct answer: A
RATIONALE: Utmost good faith (uberrima fides) requires both the
insurer and the insured to act honestly and disclose all material facts.
The insured must not conceal or misrepresent information that would
affect the insurer's decision to accept the risk or set the premium.
4. What is the primary purpose of insurance?
A. To eliminate all risk of financial loss
B. To transfer risk from an individual to a larger group and restore the
insured to their pre-loss financial position
C. To guarantee that accidents never occur
D. To provide a profit mechanism for insureds
Correct answer: B
RATIONALE: Insurance allows individuals to transfer the financial
consequences of pure risks to an insurer, which pools premiums from
many insureds. The principle of indemnity ensures the insured is
, restored to their approximate pre-loss financial condition, not placed in a
better position.
5. Which Florida statute governs the licensing requirements for
insurance agents, including the 2-20 General Lines Agent license?
A. Florida Statutes Chapter 440
B. Florida Statutes Chapter 624
C. Florida Statutes Chapter 626

education hours required to qualify for a 2-20 General Lines Agent
license?
