Tyler just wrecked his new Nissan, and the accident was his fault. The owner of the other vehicle got two estimates for the repairs: one was for $803 and the other was for $852. Tyler is thinking of keeping the insurance companies out of the incident to keep his driving record "clean".

In this regard, Tyler estimates that his semi-annual premium will raise by $60 if he files a claim against his insurance company. In view of above information, Tyler's initial decision is to write a personal check for $803 payable to the owner of the other variable. Did Tyler make the most economical decision? what other options should Tyler have explored? In your answer be sure to state your assumptions and quantify your thinking?
