JAMB - Economics (2013 - No. 28)

Life insurance is a contract in which an insurer (insurance company) in exchange for a premium, guarantees payment to an insured's beneficiaries when the insured dies. This means that, the insurance company would compensate the beneficiary of a deceased person when they die. The premium paid by the insured are considered cash and near money assets.

Near money assets are highly liquid assets that can be easily converted to cash.
