This paper considers the asymptotic behavior for the tail probability of randomly weighted sum \(S_2^{\theta }=\theta _1X_1+\theta _2X_2\) , where \(X_1\) , \(X_2\) , \(\theta _1\) , and \(\theta _2\) are non-negative dependent random variables with distributions \(F_1\) , \(F_2\) , \(G_1\) , and \(G_2\) , respectively. We obtain the tail-equivalence of \(P\left( S_2^{\theta }>x\right) \) and \(P(\theta _1X_1>x)+P(\theta _2X_2>x)\) as \(x\rightarrow \infty \) and some closure properties of distribution classes in three cases: (i). \(\theta _1\) , \(\theta _2\) are bounded and \(F_1\) , \(F_2\) are subexponential; (ii). \(\theta _1\) , \(\theta _2\) satisfy the condition of Theorem 2.1 of Tang (Extremes 9(3):231–241 2006) and \(F_1\) , \(F_2\) are subexponential with positive lower Matuszewska indices; (iii). \(\theta _1\) , \(\theta _2\) satisfy the condition of Theorem 3.3 (iii) of Cline and Samorodnitsky (Stochastic Process and their Appl 49(1):75-98 1994) and \(F_1\) , \(F_2\) are long-tailed and dominatedly-varying-tailed. Furthermore, when \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) are regularly-varying-tailed, a more transparent result is established and applied to obtain asymptotic results for risk measures. Some numerical studies are conducted to check the accuracy of the obtained results.
