- A.
Actual cash value
- B.
Replacement amount
- C.
Stated amount
- D.

The driver's policy is primaty and the neighbor's policy is excess
- D.
The neighbor's policy is primary and the driver's policy is excess

The driver's policy is considered excess, meaning it only provides coverage if the neighbor's policy limits are exhausted. This means that the neighbor's policy will be the first to respond and pay for damages, while the driver's policy will only come into play if the neighbor's policy is not sufficient to cover all the expenses.Rate this question:

This allows the insured to avoid over-insuring or under-insuring their property. By regularly reporting the changes in property value, the insurance coverage can be adjusted accordingly to accurately reflect the current value of the property.

A commercial property policy can provide coverage for all of the following, except:
- A.
Tangible losses
- B.
Indirect losses
- C.
Intangible losses
- D.
Direct losses
Correct Answer
C. Intangible lossesExplanation
A commercial property policy is designed to provide coverage for physical damage or loss to a business's property, such as buildings, equipment, and inventory. Tangible losses refer to physical losses that can be seen or touched, and a commercial property policy would cover these types of losses. Indirect losses are losses that result from the physical damage or loss, such as loss of income or additional expenses, and a commercial property policy would typically cover these as well. However, intangible losses are losses that do not involve physical damage or loss, such as reputation damage or loss of customer goodwill, and a commercial property policy would not typically provide coverage for these types of losses. Therefore, the correct answer is intangible losses.Rate this question:

- A.
Located in Canada
- B.

- C.

This exclusion suggests that the risk associated with shipping stamps through a freight company is considered higher, and therefore, the insurance coverage does not apply in such cases.Rate this question:

- D.
A well-maintained dwelling located in a hazardous brush area
Correct Answer
D. A well-maintained dwelling located in a hazardous brush areaExplanation
A well-maintained dwelling located in a hazardous brush area is most likely to be eligible for the CA Fair Plan. The CA Fair Plan is a program that offers insurance coverage to property owners who are unable to obtain insurance through traditional means due to high-risk factors such as location. In this case, the well-maintained dwelling suggests that the property is in good condition, which may make it more insurable.
