In this case, Sue's mink coat is destroyed by her neighbor's cat, and Sue's insurance company pays her for the coat. The insurance company then sues the neighbor to recover the cost of the coat.

Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Replacement Cost (RC)? Jim's 2 year old TV was stolen from his apartment and his insurance pays for replacing it with a comparable new set.
- A.
ACV
- B.
RC
Correct Answer
B. RCExplanation
The insurance paying for replacing Jim's stolen TV with a comparable new set indicates that the policy is based on Replacement Cost (RC). Replacement Cost coverage provides reimbursement for the cost of replacing the item with a new one of similar kind and quality, without considering depreciation. ACV coverage, on the other hand, would take into account the depreciation of the TV over the 2 years and provide reimbursement based on its current market value.Rate this question:

Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Replacement Cost (RC)? Derek's car cost him $3,600 six years ago. When it is stolen, his insurance company pays him $112.
- A.
ACV
- B.
RC
Correct Answer
A. ACVExplanation
The insurance company pays Derek $112 for his stolen car, which suggests that they are compensating him based on the actual cash value (ACV) of the car. ACV takes into account the depreciation of the car over time, so the amount Derek receives is likely a reduced value of what the car was worth six years ago when he bought it for $3,600. Replacement cost (RC) would typically provide a higher payout to cover the cost of replacing the stolen car with a similar one at current market prices.Rate this question:

Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Replacement Cost (RC)? Mark paid $1,900 for his roof. When it is damaged by a storm, his insurance company pays to have the new roof installed.
- A.
ACV
- B.
RC
Correct Answer
B. RCExplanation
The correct answer is Replacement Cost (RC). This is because the insurance company pays to have a new roof installed, which implies that they are covering the full cost of replacing the damaged roof. Actual Cash Value (ACV) would typically only cover the depreciated value of the roof, taking into account its age and condition, rather than the full cost of replacement.Rate this question:

Actual Cash Value (ACV) or Replacement Cost (RC)? Hilda’s roof cost her $2,400. When It is damaged by a storm, her insurance company pays $1,000.
- A.
ACV
- B.
RC
Correct Answer
A. ACVExplanation
The correct answer is ACV (Actual Cash Value). ACV is the value of an asset after depreciation. In this case, Hilda's insurance company paid her $1,000, which is less than the original cost of the roof ($2,400). This suggests that the insurance company paid her based on the current value of the roof, taking into account its depreciation over time.Rate this question:

A building is valued at $50,000. Ted has coverage to $40,000 to meet the 80% coinsurance requirement. The building suffers a $30,000 loss. The insurance company will pay:
- A.
$24,000
- B.
$30,000
- C.
$40,000
Correct Answer
B. $30,000Explanation
The coinsurance requirement states that the insured must have coverage equal to a certain percentage (in this case, 80%) of the value of the building. Since Ted's coverage is $40,000 and the value of the building is $50,000, he meets the coinsurance requirement. Therefore, the insurance company will pay the full amount of the loss, which is $30,000.Rate this question:

The Cheyenne Insurance Company issues a policy to Ann on January 15. Ann decides that on March 15 of the same year that she no longer requires coverage and wishes to cancel the policy. There will be approximately:
- A.
Two months of earned premium
- B.
Ten months of earned premium
- C.
Twelve months of earned premium
- D.
Two months of non-earned premium
Correct Answer
A. Two months of earned premiumExplanation
When Ann cancels her policy on March 15, she has already been covered for two months (January and February). Therefore, she has earned premium for those two months. The remaining months (March to December) are not yet covered, so they are considered non-earned premium. Thus, the correct answer is two months of earned premium.Rate this question:
