Question
Chapter 13, Problem 5Q
To determine
To Determine;
Why property and casualty insurance companies have large holdings of municipal bonds and life insurance companies do not?
Context Introduction:
Municipal bonds are a type of debt issued by the state, county or any local authority to finance its capital requirement needs. They are considered to be a more stable, less risky form of bond as they are mandated by the government. To further promote investment in these, they are usually declared as tax-free. The municipality repays them using tax revenue. This is the working behind why some insurance companies are taxed while others are not.
