Submit

Explanation

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.

This allows the insurer to verify the accuracy of the insured's records and ensure that the policy terms are being followed. It also provides a window of time for the insurer to investigate any potential claims or discrepancies that may arise.

Submit

Submit
25. What would be the most likely action taken by the Insurance Commissioner if a licensee induces a client to co-sign a loan ?

Explanation

If a licensee induces a client to co-sign a loan, the most likely action taken by the Insurance Commissioner would be to suspend the licensee's license.

License suspension is a serious consequence that serves as a deterrent and ensures that the licensee is held accountable for their actions.

Submit
26. Which exclusion in the causes of loss - special form - excludes coverage for mudflow ?

Explanation

The exclusion for "Water (flood)" in the causes of loss - special form excludes coverage for mudflow. Mudflow is a type of water damage caused by a mixture of water and soil or debris flowing rapidly down a slope or hillside.

Submit
29. The applicant wants a homeowners policy that has open peril coverage on his home (building structure).  Assuming he is eligible for the policy, which policy would you recommend ?

Explanation

The HO-3 policy would be recommended because it provides open peril coverage on the applicant's home (building structure). This means that the policy covers all risks unless they are specifically excluded in the policy. The HO-2 policy provides named peril coverage, which only covers specific risks that are listed in the policy. The HO-6 policy is for condominium owners and the HO-8 policy is for older homes, so neither of these policies would be suitable for the applicant's needs.

Submit

Explanation

Inland marine insurance is designed to cover domestic shipments, means of transportation, personal property floater risks, and commercial property floater risks. This type of insurance provides coverage for goods in transit, such as those being shipped by truck, train, or airplane.

Explanation

Collision coverage of a personal auto policy covers damage caused by the insured by driving into a tree that had fallen during a recent storm.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is that the coverage automatically broadens to provide Personal Injury Protection (PIP). This means that if the insured has an accident in a state with PIP, their personal auto policy will automatically provide the necessary coverage for medical expenses and other benefits provided by PIP. They do not need to apply for additional PIP coverage or make any changes to their policy. The policy responds by expanding its coverage to include PIP benefits in the state where the accident occurred.

Submit
34. What is the primary difference between umbrella and excess liability policies ?

Explanation

The primary difference between umbrella and excess liability policies is that the umbrella policy covers most liability exposures, while the excess liability policy may only cover one line.

Insurable interest refers to the financial stake or potential loss that an individual has in a property. It is the basis for purchasing insurance, as it ensures that the policyholder will suffer a financial loss if the property is damaged or destroyed.

Valuation refers to determining the monetary worth of a property, indemnity refers to compensation for a loss or damage, and legal liability refers to the responsibility to pay for damages or injuries caused to others.

Explanation

Getting a copy of all current policies and determining what coverage they have been carrying and how much they have been paying is the least professional and least likely to correctly identify the loss exposures. This approach does not involve directly observing the business operations or gathering information from key people. It solely relies on the information provided in the policies, which may not accurately reflect the actual risks and exposures faced by the business.

Submit
38. Where would an insured who is in the business of importing exotic animals from Africa most likely go to obtain insurance coverage?

Explanation

An insured who is in the business of importing exotic animals from Africa would most likely go to an excess and surplus lines insurer to obtain insurance coverage. Excess and surplus lines insurers specialize in providing coverage for unique or high-risk exposures that traditional insurance companies may not cover.

Explanation

To be certain of replacement cost coverage on a partial loss to either structure, Mary must carry a minimum of $80,000 on the dwelling and $16,000 on the garage. This is because replacement cost coverage ensures that the insurance will pay for the full cost of replacing the damaged property. Therefore, Mary needs to have coverage equal to or greater than the replacement cost of each structure in order to be fully protected in the event of a partial loss.

Submit
41. A commercial property policy can provide coverage for all of the following, except:

Explanation

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.

Submit
42. Mitchell's (unendorsed) personal auto policy liability coverage would pay for:

Explanation

Mitchell's personal auto policy liability coverage would pay for the cost of repairing the neighbor's fence that Mitchell damaged due to the negligent operation of his car.

Submit
45. All of the following are characteristics of an "ideally insurable loss exposure", except

Explanation

An "ideally insurable loss exposure" should have losses that are accidental, definite and measurable, and a large number of exposure units. However, losses that are catastrophic are not considered ideal for insurance because they involve widespread and severe damage, making it difficult for insurance companies to manage and cover the costs. Catastrophic losses often result in high claims payouts, which can lead to financial instability for insurance companies. Therefore, losses that are catastrophic do not meet the criteria of an "ideally insurable loss exposure".

Submit
46. The amount to replace property with a like property of the same quality and construction is the:

Explanation

The correct answer is "Replacement cost" because it refers to the amount of money needed to replace a property with a similar one of the same quality and construction. This value takes into account the current market prices and ensures that the insured property can be fully restored in case of damage or loss. Actual cash value, on the other hand, considers depreciation and deducts it from the replacement cost. Market value represents the price at which a property could be sold in the current market, while stated value is a predetermined value agreed upon by the insurer and insured.

Submit
47. If an insured borrows a neighbor's vehicle to run a personal errand, how do the policies respond in the event of an auto accident ?

Explanation

When an insured borrows a neighbor's vehicle to run a personal errand and gets into an auto accident, the neighbor's policy is considered primary and provides coverage for the accident. 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.

Submit
48. What items of personal property are included in Coverage A under a HO-3 policy ?

Explanation

Coverage A under a HO-3 policy typically includes personal property that is permanently attached or built in to the structure of the insured premises. This includes items like built-in appliances, fixtures, and permanently installed carpeting. However, paint on the premises to be applied to the interior is not considered personal property that is permanently attached or built in, as it is a temporary item that can be easily removed or replaced. Therefore, it is not included in Coverage A under a HO-3 policy.

Submit
49. What additional coverage is provided in a DP3 that is not included in a DP1 ?

Explanation

A DP3 policy provides coverage for collapse, which is not included in a DP1 policy. Collapse refers to the sudden and substantial falling down or caving in of a building or a part of it. This coverage protects the insured against the costs of repairing or rebuilding the damaged structure due to collapse.

Submit
50. If an insured rents an auto while on vacation, what coverage, if any, will be available for physical damage coverage under a persona auto policy ?

Explanation

The broadest coverage on any auto shown in the declarations means that if an insured rents an auto while on vacation, they will have coverage for physical damage under their personal auto policy. This coverage will apply to the rental car as long as it is listed on the declarations page of the policy and the policy provides physical damage coverage for the insured's vehicles.

Submit
51. The medical expense coverage in a Workers Compensation Policy

Explanation

The correct answer is that the medical expense coverage in a Workers Compensation Policy does not have a dollar limit nor a time limit. This means that there is no maximum amount of money that can be spent on medical expenses, and there is also no time limit on when these expenses can be incurred. This provides unlimited coverage for medical expenses related to work-related injuries or illnesses.

Submit
52. If an inland marine policy provides coverage for any loss unless it is specifically excluded, it would be considered which of the following ?

Explanation

If an inland marine policy provides coverage for any loss unless it is specifically excluded, it would be considered "Open perils." This means that the policy covers all perils or risks unless they are specifically listed as exclusions. In other words, the policy provides broad coverage and is not limited to specific named perils.

Submit
53. The amount paid for damage to property which is equal to the price for which it could have been sold is

Explanation

Market Value refers to the amount paid for damage to property, which is equal to the price for which it could have been sold. This means that the payment is based on the current market value of the property, taking into account factors such as depreciation and condition. It is different from Actual Cash Value, which may consider the property's depreciated value, and Replacement Amount, which may involve the cost of replacing the property with a similar one. Stated Amount, on the other hand, is a predetermined value agreed upon by the parties involved, and may not necessarily reflect the market value.

Submit
54. The amount to replace an insured's damaged property, less depreciation, is known as the

Explanation

The correct answer is "Actual cash value." Actual cash value refers to the amount that an insured person would receive for their damaged property after deducting depreciation. It takes into account the property's original value and its current condition. This is different from replacement value, which is the cost to replace the property with a similar item at current market prices. Stated amount and agreed amount are not relevant to this context and do not accurately describe the concept of replacing damaged property.

Submit
55. Which of the following is commonly found in liability policies, thus creating the need for inland marine coverage ?

Explanation

A care, custody, control exclusion is commonly found in liability policies, which means that the policy does not cover any damage or loss to property that is in the insured's care, custody, or control. This creates the need for inland marine coverage, which provides insurance for property that is not covered by standard liability policies. Inland marine coverage is designed to protect property that is frequently in transit or not permanently located at a single location, such as equipment, tools, or goods being transported.

Submit
56. The intentional relinquishment of a known right is:

Explanation

Waiver refers to the intentional act of giving up or relinquishing a known right. It is a voluntary action where an individual or party chooses to forego a particular right they are entitled to. This can be done through a written agreement or through verbal communication. By waiving a right, the individual or party is essentially giving up any claims or benefits associated with that right.

Submit
57. What must a life agent, travel agent, or fire & casualty insurance agent do in order to act as an agent of a particular insurer ?

Explanation

In order to act as an agent of a particular insurer, the life agent, travel agent, or fire & casualty insurance agent must file a notice of appointment with the Commissioner. This means that they need to officially inform the Commissioner that they are representing a specific insurer and have been appointed by them to act on their behalf. This is a necessary step to ensure that the agent is authorized and recognized by the insurance company they are representing.

Submit
58. In reference to the coverages provided in the basic form, the boat owner's policy is similar to what other policy ?

Explanation

The boat owner's policy is similar to the personal auto policy because both provide coverage for the owner's property and liability. Just like the personal auto policy covers the owner's vehicle and provides liability coverage for accidents, the boat owner's policy covers the owner's boat and provides liability coverage for accidents that occur while using the boat. Both policies are designed to protect the owner's property and provide financial protection in case of accidents or damage.

Submit
59. Inland marine policies nearly always provide _____________ coverage.

Explanation

Inland marine policies nearly always provide open peril coverage. Open peril coverage means that the policy covers all risks or perils unless they are specifically excluded. This type of coverage offers the broadest protection to the insured as it covers a wide range of risks, including theft, damage, and loss. It is a comprehensive coverage option that provides greater peace of mind to policyholders.

Submit

Explanation

The personal injury endorsement provides coverage for claims related to false arrest, libel, and slander, which are exactly the liability protections the insured wants. Adding this endorsement to the homeowner's policy would be the most appropriate solution in this situation.

Submit
61. A bulldozer an insured is using to level a property for a customer overturns causing fuel to leak and pollute the ground.  Where would this pollution loss be covered ?

Explanation

The pollution loss caused by the bulldozer overturning and fuel leakage would be covered under Commercial General Liability insurance. This type of insurance provides coverage for third-party bodily injury, property damage, and pollution losses that occur during the course of business operations. Since the bulldozer was being used for a customer's property, the pollution damage would fall under this coverage category.

Submit
62. Under a scheduled personal property endorsement, loss to stamps are excluded when they are:

Explanation

The correct answer is "Being shipped with a freight company." This means that if the stamps are being transported or shipped using a freight company, they will not be covered under the scheduled personal property endorsement. 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.

Submit
63. Self-funding of employee benefit plans cannot be used for:

Explanation

Self-funding of employee benefit plans cannot be used for death benefits because death benefits typically involve a lump sum payment to the beneficiary upon the death of an employee. Self-funding refers to the practice of an employer bearing the financial risk of providing benefits to its employees rather than purchasing insurance. While self-funding can be used for short-term disability, hospital, and health benefits, it is not typically used for death benefits as the financial risk associated with such benefits can be significant and unpredictable.

Submit
64. Kim's car is insured with a personal automobile policy. The coverage includes medical payments with $2,000 limits.  Which of the following is a true statement about the medical payment coverage for necessary medical expenses ?

Explanation

Kim's car insurance policy includes medical payments coverage with a limit of $2,000. In the scenario where Kim gives her neighbor a ride and they both get into an accident resulting in over $2,000 in medical expenses, Kim's policy will pay a maximum of $2,000 for her own medical expenses and another $2,000 for her neighbor's medical expenses. This means that the policy will cover up to $2,000 for each person involved in the accident, regardless of who owns the car or who was at fault.

Submit

Explanation

When a building has been vacant for more than 60 consecutive days under a building and personal property coverage form, the effect on a vandalism loss is that the loss is excluded.

Submit
72. If an insured signs a claim form for a claim which is fraudulent, the insured may be guilty of:

Explanation

If an insured signs a claim form for a claim which is fraudulent, the insured may be guilty of perjury. Perjury refers to the act of deliberately giving false information while under oath or affirmation, typically in a court of law.

The commercial property conditions include a condition called "liberalization" which means that if a policy form revision would broaden coverage without an additional premium, the broader coverage will automatically apply to the commercial property coverage part. This condition ensures that the insured receives the benefit of any improvements or expansions in coverage without having to pay extra for it. It is a way to provide more comprehensive protection to the insured without any additional cost.

Submit
74. All of the following types of businesses would need a special inland marine coverage for their stock, except:

Explanation

Grocers would not need a special inland marine coverage for their stock because they typically deal with perishable items that have a short shelf life. Inland marine coverage is designed to protect goods that are in transit or being stored at a location other than the insured's premises. Since grocers primarily sell their stock directly to customers and do not transport or store it in a separate location, they would not require this type of coverage. On the other hand, jewelers, stamp and coin collectors, and furriers may need inland marine coverage as they often deal with valuable items that may be transported or stored outside of their premises.

Submit
75. Which of the following does not have a standard coverage form ?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Umbrella policy." An umbrella policy is a type of insurance that provides additional liability coverage beyond the limits of other policies, such as auto or homeowner's insurance.

Submit
78. Why would an inured need an inland marine policy if she is shipping stock on her own trucks ?

Explanation

An inland marine policy would be needed because the stock is only covered if it is in the building or within 100ft. of the building premises. This means that if the stock is being shipped on her own trucks, it would not be covered unless it falls within that specific range. Therefore, an inland marine policy would provide coverage for the stock while it is being transported on her own trucks.

Submit
79. Which of the following types of loss would result in a claim for monetary damages due to injury to another or damage to another's property ?

Explanation

Liability loss refers to a situation where an individual is legally responsible for causing harm or damage to another person or their property. In such cases, the injured party can file a claim for monetary damages to compensate for their losses.

Therefore, liability loss is the correct answer as it directly involves claims for monetary damages due to injury to another or damage to another's property.

Submit
80. Which of the following is a valid reason for an applicant to purchase a HO-3 policy instead of a dwelling policy ?

Explanation

The insured may choose to purchase a HO-3 policy instead of a dwelling policy because they desire broader coverage. A HO-3 policy typically provides more comprehensive coverage compared to a dwelling policy, as it covers not only the structure but also personal belongings and liability. This can be beneficial for the insured if they want to ensure they have adequate protection in case of various perils or damages to their property.

Submit
81. Which of items or real property under HO-3 are valued on an actual cash value basis ?

Explanation

Built-in appliances under HO-3 are valued on an actual cash value basis. This means that in the event of a loss or damage, the insurance company will reimburse the policyholder for the current value of the appliances, taking into account depreciation. Unlike replacement cost value, which would cover the cost of replacing the appliances with new ones, actual cash value considers their age and condition at the time of the loss. This is important to note as it may result in a lower payout compared to replacement cost value coverage.

Submit
82. What is the primary difference between a HO-2 and HO-3 policy ?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Dwelling, other structures, and personal property." Section 1 coverages A, B, and C in Grace's homeowner's policy provide coverage for the dwelling itself, other structures on the property (such as a detached garage or shed), and personal property (such as furniture or electronics). This means that if any of these items are damaged or destroyed due to a covered peril, Grace's insurance policy will help cover the cost of repair or replacement.

Submit
87. A representation in an insurance contract qualifies as which of the following ?

Explanation

Explanation

The correct answer is that the ordinance or law exclusion in property policies excludes the part of the loss that is a result of the enforcement of a building ordinance or law. This means that if a loss occurs due to the enforcement of a building ordinance or law, that specific part of the loss will not be covered by the insurance policy. This exclusion is in place to ensure that the insured does not knowingly violate any ordinances or laws and to reduce coverage if such violations occur.

Submit

This means that the agent must disclose any requirements or conditions that the insured must meet in order for coverage to be provided. By informing the insured at the application stage, the agent ensures that the insured is aware of these conditions and can take the necessary steps to fulfill them. This promotes transparency and helps the insured make informed decisions about their coverage.

Submit
91. Which of the following perils is included in the broad form, but not in the basic form.

Explanation

In the broad form, falling objects are included as a peril that is covered, but they are not included in the basic form.

However, the basic form insurance policy does not provide coverage for this specific peril, so any damage caused by falling objects would not be covered under the basic form policy.

Submit
92. Which of the following would be used for a new single-family dwelling ?

Explanation

HO-5 would be used for a new single-family dwelling. HO-5 is a type of homeowner's insurance policy that provides the most comprehensive coverage for a property. It covers the dwelling, personal property, and liability for a wide range of perils, including both named perils and open perils. This type of policy is typically recommended for newer and higher-value homes, making it suitable for a new single-family dwelling. HO-8 is designed for older homes, HO-6 is for condominiums, and HO-4 is for renters, so they would not be appropriate for a new single-family dwelling.

Submit
93. Which type of loss is a business exposed to death, retirement, resignation, or disability of a key employee?

Explanation

Under a personal umbrella policy, an insured typically needs to maintain auto and personal liability coverages.

In fact, insurance is designed to protect individuals or organizations from financial losses by transferring the risk to the insurer. Therefore, the insured should not bear the burden of retaining the loss.

Explanation

The personal auto policy provides liability coverage for accidents caused by the insured while driving their own car. However, in the given situation, Lisa is driving a non-owned company car that is furnished for her regular use.

110. What factor supports the principle of indemnity ?

Explanation

Insurance interest supports the principle of indemnity. Insurance interest refers to the financial or legal stake that a person has in the property or person being insured.

This principle aligns with the concept of indemnity, which aims to compensate the insured for their actual financial loss and prevent them from gaining a profit from the insurance policy.

Submit

114. If the limits of liability on a structure are $75,000 and the structure is worth $125,000, how much would be owed on a fire loss of $50,000 if the policy has an 80% coinsurance requirement (disregard any deductibles)?

Explanation

In this scenario, the policy has an 80% coinsurance requirement. Coinsurance is a clause that requires the insured to carry insurance equal to a specified percentage of the value of the property. In this case, the insured should carry insurance equal to 80% of the value of the structure, which is $100,000 (80% of $125,000). Since the actual coverage is $75,000, which is less than the required coverage of $100,000, the insured is underinsured. Therefore, in the event of a loss, the insured will only be reimbursed for a proportionate amount of the loss. The formula to calculate this is: (Amount of Insurance Carried / Amount of Insurance Required) x Loss = Amount of Reimbursement. Plugging in the values, we get: ($75,000 / $100,000) x $50,000 = $37,000. Therefore, the amount owed on a fire loss of $50,000 would be $37,000.

Explanation

Max's PAP provides liability coverage that is excess of his neighbor's liability coverage. This means that if Max's neighbor's liability coverage is not enough to cover the damages caused by the accident, Max's PAP will provide additional coverage. Additionally, Max's liability coverage also applies on a primary basis, meaning that it will be the first to cover the damages before his neighbor's liability coverage. However, Max's PAP does not provide collision coverage for the damages to his neighbor's car, as the neighbor's car only has liability coverage.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Excluded under the concurrent causation exclusion." This means that if a landslide is caused by an unnatural flow of water due to improper grading, it will not be covered by the insurance policy. The concurrent causation exclusion refers to situations where multiple causes contribute to a loss, and if one of the causes is excluded, the entire loss is excluded. In this case, the improper grading and the resulting unnatural flow of water are the causes of the landslide, and since the policy excludes coverage for this type of loss, it will not be covered.

This means that even if the policy has ended, any losses that are found within one year after the termination will still be covered by the insurance. This type of coverage provides extended protection for potential losses that may not be immediately discovered or reported.

Explanation
