    Solution

    Divide the total claims incurred per year by the number of units of exposure. The pure premium represents the expected cost of claims per unit of exposure. It is calculated by dividing the total claims incurred during a specific period by the total number of units of exposure (e.g., number of vehicles, number of homes).
