Ruben Bishop · Answer 2

C) raise her deductible from $250 to $1,000

Explanation:

The whole idea here is that Donna keeps her auto insurance and reduce her premiums, and she can do that in two ways:

lower her coverage: which is really a bad idea since any type of accident can be really expensive, and reducing coverage will not lower her premium that much. increase her deductible: the deductible is the amount that Donna has to pay herself before the insurance policy kicks in. An increase from $250 to $1,000 will lower her premium significantly while not lowering any coverage. Since accidents usually costs several thousands of dollars, $1,000 in deductible is not that much considering that her premiums will reduce significantly.
