    The premium amount should it charge is $690

    Explanation:

    The X values would be 0 1,000 5,000 10,000

    Since, we have to deduct the $500 and add the premium amount

    So, new X values would be 100 600 4,600 9,600

    And, the probability would be 0.82, 0.08, 0.08, and 0.02

    So, the premium amount would be equal to

    = 100 * 0.82 + 600 * 0.08 + 4,600 * 0.08 + 9,600 * 0.02

    = 82 + 48 + 368 + 192

    = $690
