B) False, obviously. I mean, who doesn't know the difference between income and outgo in the insurance world? Amateurs.

I thought outgo was just losses and expenses, but now I'm questioning if commissions should be included too.

I think income is definitely related to premiums earned, but I'm not sure if outgo includes everything mentioned.

Okay, I've got this. Income is the premiums earned, and outgo is the total of losses, expenses, and commissions. So the statement is True. Easy peasy!

I remember a practice question that discussed income and outgo, and it seemed like the definitions were a bit more complex than this.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Does "outgo" just mean expenses? I want to make sure I understand the terms before I answer.
