 Definition
 Services
 Types of policies-vehicle, fire, burglary, marine and life
insurance.

NOTE:
Insurance is a legal contract that protects people from the financial
costs that result from loss of life, loss of health, lawsuits, or property
damage. Insurance provides a means for individuals and societies to
cope with some of the risks faced in everyday life. People purchase
contracts of insurance, called policies, from a variety of insurance
organizations.

Insurance makes up part of the broader financial services industry.


Almost everyone living in modern, industrialized countries buys
insurance. For instance, laws in most states require people who own
a car to buy insurance before driving it on public roads. Lenders
require anyone who finances the purchase of a home or car with
borrowed money to insure that property. Business partners take out
life insurance on each other to make sure the business will succeed
even if one of the partners dies.

IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE
Insurance benefits society by allowing individuals to share the risks
faced by many people. But it also serves many other important
economic and societal functions. Because insurance is available and
affordable, banks can make loans with the assurance that the loan’s
collateral (property that can be taken as payment if a loan goes
unpaid) is covered against damage. This increased availability of
credit helps people buy homes and cars. Insurance also provides the
capital that communities need to quickly rebuild and recover
economically from natural disasters, such as tornadoes or
hurricanes.

Insurance itself has become a significant economic force in most


industrialized countries. Employers buy insurance to cover their
employees against work-related injuries and health problems.
Businesses also insure their property, including technology used in
production, against damage and theft. Because it makes business
operations safer, insurance encourages businesses to make
economic transactions, which benefits the economies of countries.
In addition, millions of people work for insurance companies and
related businesses.

EVALUATION
1. Define insurance
2.
3. What are the importance of insurance?

TYPES OF INSURANCE POLICIES


VEHICLE INSURANCE:Automobile insurance protects against
damage to a policyholder’s car and most liabilities that could arise
from operating that car. Most U.S. states allow drivers to satisfy
their financial responsibility for the costs of auto accidents by
obtaining insurance in three categories of liability coverage: (1) for
injury to any one person, (2) for injury to two or more people, and
(3) for damage to another person’s property. An increasing number
of states are requiring drivers to obtain auto insurance by law.

Fire Insurance, insurance obtained by owners of homes and


commercial properties to provide reimbursement in case of losses
resulting from fire. Such insurance is supplied in exchange for the
payment of a premium.
Some business firms, however, are self-insurers; that is, they set
aside funds to be used exclusively for indemnifying losses resulting
from fire.

In fire insurance the premium rates are of two kinds: class rates and
schedule rates. Dwellings are largely class rated; that is, they are
grouped into fairly homogeneous categories according to the type of
occupancy, type of construction, and type of community fire
protection. A uniform rate is applied to all risks in the same
category. Commercial and industrial properties, which vary greatly
in respect to degree of hazard, are usually schedule rated. In
schedule rating the individual physical characteristics of each risk
are appraised according to a schedule of charges and credits. The
elements considered in the rating include occupancy, construction,
internal protection, community fire protection, and exposure from
neighboring buildings.

BUGLARY INSURANCE: Residence burglary and outside theft


insurance, offering the broadest coverage ever obtainable in this
line, has proved very attractive in the past year. Its popularity is
expected to continue despite an expected premium rate increase
soon after the first of the year. The broad form money and securities
policy also gained considerable favor and is serving a useful
purpose.

Marine Insurance, insurance that generally applies to the risk


associated with the transportation of goods.Over time, marine
insurance has become a mixture of broad property coverages,
divided between land risks (inland marine) and sea risks (ocean
marine).
Inland marine insurance covers domestic risks associated with some
element of transportation. It has been broadened to include perils
incidental to transportation of property and now deals mostly with
personal and commercial property of a mobile nature. Its most
familiar form is the personal articles “floater,” which offers an
opportunity to insure many valuables, such as jewellery, furs,
silverware, and fine arts, in a single policy.
Ocean marine insurance is broken into three basic types: hull
(involving loss or damage to the ship); cargo (involving loss or
damage to cargoes); and protection and indemnity (involving
liability of ship-owners to others).

Hull insurance affords protection to owners of all types of ships for


loss or damage to their waterborne property. Typical perils insured
against are stranding, sinking, fire, and collision. The hull policy
offers an unusual coverage under its collision clause, which provides
liability insurance for loss or damage to the other vessel involved in
a collision, as well as to its cargo.
Cargo insurance is available for shippers of goods moving by sea or
air in international trade. The terms of insurance can be specific (for
example, loss or damage resulting from sinking or fire) or “all risk”
and can be underwritten for a single transaction (special policy) or
on an open-ended contract (open cargo policy) for the international
trader. The open cargo policy is the most common form used and
usually covers the cargo “warehouse to warehouse,” thus including
exposure to those risks that are associated with land transportation
as well.
When a ship is imperilled at sea because of fire, storm, or other
danger, all efforts must be made to keep the ship afloat. Such
efforts often cause damage to portions of the ship or cargo. To
prevent inequity, each owner assumes a share of the property
damaged or lost as a result of actions taken to save the ship. This
method of apportioning losses is known as general averaging.

Evaluation
1. List 3 types of insurance and explain 2
2. What is ocean marine?

Life assurance:Life assurance, assumption by an insuring


organization of the risk of death of a policyholder. Unlike loss in
insurance on property, loss in life assurance is certain to occur and
is total. The element of uncertainty is when death will occur.
Mortality is subject to the laws of probability, however, and life-
assurance premiums can be calculated from mortality tables, which
indicate the average number of people in each age and gender
group that will die each year. A person trained to make such
calculations, known as an actuary, determines the amount of
premiums to be collected yearly from each group in order for the
principal (the premiums) and its earned interest to equal the
benefits to be paid to the policyholders' beneficiaries. The principal
payment required annually constitutes the net premium. A loading
charge to cover company expenses and contingencies is added to
the net premium, yielding the total, or gross premium, which the
insured pays.
Types of life insurance: Life assurance may be classified in a
variety of ways. A classification depending primarily on the manner
in which the premium is collected comprises regular ordinary, debit,
and group life insurance.
Regular ordinary insurance can be further classified into
1. Whole life
2. Limited-payment life
3. Endowment and term.
Debit life insurance can be classified into debit ordinary and
industrial. Life insurance may also be classified as participating and
nonparticipating, depending on whether or not the policyholder
shares in the savings or the profits of the insurer.

Evaluation
1. What is life assurance
2. Write a short note on the types of life insurance
PENSION: It is a sum of money paid regularly to a person who no
longer works because of age or a length of year of service. It is a
regular payment made to a person on retirement for the remainder
of his or her life. Such money is meant to sustain such an individual.

HEALTH: National health scheme insurance is a contributory health


insurance scheme meant for providing medical attention to the
contributors which include individual, employee and the government

BENEFITS OF INSURANCE:
1. It provides protection for business assets and personal
properties against risks of accident, flood, fire, burglary and
theft.
2. The insured receives compensation in the event of loss or
damage.
3. The families or dependants of the assured receive income or
economic security after his death.
4. It can serve as a security for loans from the bank.
5. Funds accumulated by the insurance firms are made available
to the capital market for long term investment.

TOPIC: PARAGRAPHING
CONTENT: Methods of paragraphing
Blocked
Indented
Hanging

A paragraph is a clear division of a piece of writing. It focusses


usually on a single subject matter and is separated from other parts
of the writing by a new line of indentation.

METHODS OF PARAGRAPH
There are three types of paragraphs namely blocked, indented and
hanging.

BLOCKED: Paragraphs written in a blocked style are the ones with


the first line flush with left margin. All lines of the paragraph starts
from the beginning of the left margin. It is simply a style convention.
The first line is not indented and the subsequent paragraphs are
separated by a double space between them. For example,

It was a dark evil “wave” that almost killed him, but for Austalian
surfer Kerby Brown, riding this 40 foot monster in his own backyard
was one of the highlights ofhis surfing career.

The 25-year-old surfaced the enormous break at an outdoor reef in


the Southern Ocean “somewhere between Margaret River and South
Austalia” on the southwest coast of Western Australia last August.

EVALUATION:Define paragraph.

READING ASSIGNMENT
WABP Junior Secondary business studies bk 2 by Egbe T.
Ehiametaloret’alpg 151-157.

INDENTED: Indentation determines the distance of the paragraph


from either the left or the right margin. Within the margin, you can
increase or decrease the indentation of a paragraph or groups of
paragraphs. For example.

Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria. It is located in the centre of


Nigeria, within the Federal capital Territory (FCT). Abuja is planned
city and was built mainly in the 1980s.

Abuja’s geography is defined by Aso rock, a 400-metre monolith left


by water erosion.
The presidential complex, National Assembly, Supreme Court and
much of the town extend to the south of the rock.

EVALUATION: What is indented paragraph?

HANGING: This is one that has all lines but the first indented. A
hanging indent is also known as a hanging paragraph. For example.

Abuja is the capital city of Nigeria. It is located in the centre of


Nigeria, within the federal
Capital Territory (FCT). Abuja is a planned city, and was built mainly
in the 1980s. It officially became Nigeria’s capital on 12 December,
1991, replacing Lagos, which is still the country’s most
populous city.

Abuja’s geography is defined by Aso Rock, a 400-meter monolith left

Lesson Note: Three-Column Cashbook


A. Meaning of Three-Column Cashbook

A three-column cashbook is a financial record used to track cash


transactions. It consists of three main columns:

1. Cash Column: Records cash receipts and payments.


2. Bank Column: Records transactions involving bank deposits and
withdrawals.
3. Discount Column: Records discounts allowed to customers and
discounts received from suppliers.

This cashbook helps businesses manage their cash flow effectively


by providing a clear view of all cash and bank transactions.

B. Ruling of Three-Column Cashbook

The ruling of a three-column cashbook involves setting up the


columns correctly. The layout typically includes:

 Date Column: For recording the date of each transaction.


 Particulars Column: For describing the transaction (e.g., name of
the customer or supplier).
 Cash Column: For entering cash transactions.
 Bank Column: For entering bank transactions.
 Discount Allowed Column: For recording discounts given to
customers.
 Discount Received Column: For recording discounts received
from suppliers.

Example Layout

sql
Copy
| Date | Particulars | Cash | Bank | Discount Allowed
| Discount Received
||------------|------------------|--------------|--------------|------------------|-------------
------|| YYYY-MM-DD | Description | Amount | Amount |
Amount | Amount |

C. Recording of Items and Balancing It

Recording Items

 Cash Transactions: Enter cash received in the cash column and


cash paid out in the same column.
 Bank Transactions: Record deposits in the bank column and
withdrawals in the same column.
 Discounts: Enter discounts allowed in the discount allowed column
and discounts received in the discount received column.
Balancing the Cashbook

At the end of a period (monthly or quarterly):

1. Total each column: Add up the amounts in the cash, bank, and
discount columns.
2. Calculate the balance:
 For the cash column, subtract total payments from total receipts.
 For the bank column, do the same.
3. Record the balance: Write the balance at the bottom of each
column.

D. Discount Allowed and Received

Discount Allowed

 This refers to the reduction in price given to customers. It is


recorded in the Discount Allowed Column.
 Example: If a customer buys goods worth $100 and receives a 10%
discount, the entry would be $10 in the discount allowed column.

Discount Received

 This refers to the reduction in price received from suppliers. It is


recorded in the Discount Received Column.
 Example: If a business purchases goods worth $200 and receives a
5% discount, the entry would be $10 in the discount received
column.

Summary

The three-column cashbook is an essential tool for managing


finances in a business. Understanding its structure, recording
methods, and how to balance it is crucial for students in JS2. This
lesson provides a foundational understanding of cash management
practices.
