    An insured has a DP-3 covering a home that has a replacement value of $100,000. The insured carries $60,000 of insurance. Following a loss, the determined is made that it would cost $12,000 to replace the damaged portion of the home. How much could the insured collect, assuming the ACV of the loss is $6,000?

    • $12,000

    • $9,000

    • $6,000

    • Nothing

    Correct Answer
    A. $9,000
    Explanation
    B is correct. To qualify for replacement cost coverage, the insured must carry insurance equal to 80% of the replacement cost of the building.

In this case, proportional replacement cost ($9,000) is larger than ACV ($6,000).
