Answer:$616

Explanation:

The insurance policy is a policy on an annual basis in which premium are paid in advance to enable the insurance firm to provide cover for the clients.

Cost of insurance

$0.84 * ($88000/100)

= $732.92 per annum

However since the insurance was cancelled after 10 months he will only be responsible for 10 months.

$739.2/12*10

=$616
