Hartford Corporation insured a building for $400,000 for one year at a premium rate of $6.50 per thousand. Six months later the Hartford Corporation sold the building and canceled the policy. The insurance company refunded the remaining half of the premium at the short-rate based on a penalty of 15% of the annual premium. Compute the amount that the six months of insurance cost the Hartford Corporation.​

A partial refund of an insurance premium, calculated using the short-rate method, which accounts for administrative costs and the increased risk to the insurer of policies cancelled before their original expiration.
