Quick and Dirty Paper Company has a fire which partially destroys their paper mill valued at $200,000. The loss was valued at $100,000. They held a Building and Personal Property Coverage Form on the property with a limit of $90,000 and a co-insurance requirement of 90%. They only have coverage through the Basic Form perils.

$20,000
- C.
$30,000

They own the factory (valued at $400,000) and the building loss is $50,000. 1,000 pens are destroyed.

- D.
Less than $25,000
Correct Answer
A. More than $50,000 but less than $90,000Explanation
Woah! Bummer. Lightning. But they're covered because lightning is covered on all 3 forms.
They're insured beyond their co-insurance requirement: 300,000/400,000 = 3/4 = 75%
So they collect on the loss of the building $50,000 - deductible of $5,000 = $45,000
They also collect on the pens already sold which are destroyed = 1,000 pens x $10 (selling price) = $10,000
So they collect a total of $55,000 on the loss.

Part B is regarding Business Personal Property.
- B.
Settlement for Part B is on a replacement part basis.
- C.
There is no value limit placed on Loss of Income.
- D.
Any losses will be paid on an Actual Cash Value basis.
Correct Answer
D. Any losses will be paid on an Actual Cash Value basis.Explanation
The statement "Any losses will be paid on an Actual Cash Value basis" is not true about the BOP. The BOP, or Business Owners Policy, typically provides coverage for business personal property, loss of income, and other liabilities. However, the BOP usually pays for losses on a replacement cost basis, not on an actual cash value basis. This means that the insurance company will reimburse the policyholder for the cost of replacing the damaged or stolen property, rather than its depreciated value.Rate this question:
