  • 2. 

    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.

    • ACV

    • RC

    Correct Answer
    A. ACV
    Explanation
    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.

    When insuring a boat or a yacht, the territory or body of water the vessel will be operated in is one of the underwriting factors which determines the premium or even eligibility.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The territory or body of water where a boat or yacht will be operated is an important factor for insurance underwriting. This is because different bodies of water may have different risks and hazards, such as rough seas or navigational challenges, which can affect the likelihood of accidents or damage to the vessel. Insurance companies consider these factors when determining the premium for the policy or even whether the vessel is eligible for coverage. Therefore, the statement is true.

    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.

    • ACV

    • RC

    Correct Answer
    A. ACV
    Explanation
    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.

This coverage provides compensation for the loss of rental income that a property owner may experience if their rental property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, such as a fire.

    Which of the following is an example of Subrogation?

    • Bob pays his neighbor $40 for backing over his hedge.

    • Sue's mink coat is destroyed by her neighbor's cat. Sue's insurance company pays her for the coat, then sues the neighbor to recover the cost.

    • Al is sued by his paperboy, who tripped on Al's front step. Al's liability insurance must pay the paperboy $5,000.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sue's mink coat is destroyed by her neighbor's cat. Sue's insurance company pays her for the coat, then sues the neighbor to recover the cost.
    Explanation
    Subrogation refers to the process where an insurance company pays a claim to their insured and then seeks reimbursement from the responsible party. 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. This scenario exemplifies subrogation as the insurance company is seeking reimbursement from the neighbor who is responsible for the damage caused to Sue's property.

    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:

    • Two months of earned premium

    • Ten months of earned premium

    • Twelve months of earned premium

    • Two months of non-earned premium

    Correct Answer
    A. Two months of earned premium
    Explanation
    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.

    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.

    • ACV

    • RC

    Correct Answer
    A. RC
    Explanation
    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.

    NYS Insurance Law mandates that you must present a Compensation Disclosure Form with every insurance quote you discuss with a prospect or client.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The NYS Insurance Law requires insurance agents to provide a Compensation Disclosure Form to clients or prospects when discussing insurance quotes. This form is necessary to inform individuals about any potential compensation the agent may receive from the insurance company. By presenting this form, agents ensure transparency and help clients make informed decisions about their insurance policies. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    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:

    • $24,000

    • $30,000

    • $40,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $30,000
    Explanation
    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.

    • Add this individual as Mortgagee

    Correct Answer
    A. Add this individual as Additional Insured
    Explanation
    Adding the individual as an Additional Insured is the correct answer because it provides coverage for the person who does not live on the premises. By adding them as an Additional Insured, they will be protected by the insurance policy in case of any damages or liability arising from the property. This ensures that both owners are properly insured and covered.

    A client is renting an apartment and the landlord requires to be added as Additional Insured.  What is the proper way to underwrite this risk.

    • Is not eligible for any markets

    • Write an HO4 adding Landlord as Additional Insured

    • A and D

    • Offer Alternative to add Landlord as Additional Interest instead

    A. A and D
    Explanation
    The proper way to underwrite this risk would be to offer an alternative to add the landlord as an additional interest instead of an additional insured. This allows the landlord to be notified in the event of a policy cancellation or non-renewal, without extending coverage to them. This ensures that the landlord is aware of the insurance status of the tenant, but does not create any additional liability for the insurance company.
