Chapter 18, Problem 10P
To determine

The situations in which adverse selection or moral hazard occurs.

Concept information:

Adverse selection is defined as a situation in which sellers have more information about a product than buyers have and buyers have some information about the product that sellers do not have. Thus, there is lack of symmetric information between buyers and sellers.

Moral hazard is a situation when the insured party is likely to take more risk as they are aware of the fact that they are protected against the risk. This means that ones the party are insured they become careless about the protection of their insured object.
