• C) When a firm is subject to graduated income tax rates, insurance can produce a tax savings if the firm is in a higher tax bracket when it pays the premium than the tax bracket it is in when it receives the insurance payment in the event of a loss.
• D) In a perfect market without other frictions, insurance companies should compete until they are just earning a fair return and the NPV from selling insurance is zero.
