    • D.

      5+ years with prior carrier, named insured or spouse is the owner of a residential property, greater than 100/300 prior BI limits

    Correct Answer
    D. 5+ years with prior carrier, named insured or spouse is the owner of a residential property, greater than 100/300 prior BI limits
    Explanation
    The answer is 5+ years with prior carrier, named insured or spouse is the owner of a residential property, greater than 100/300 prior BI limits. This is because having 5+ years with a prior carrier shows loyalty and a good driving history, while being the owner of a residential property suggests stability and responsibility. Additionally, having prior BI limits greater than 100/300 indicates a higher level of coverage, which is seen as favorable by insurance companies.

  • 3. 

    What is the ratio on ordering MVRs on an auto quote? (MVR:Policies Written)

    • A.

      1:2

    • B.

      1:4

    • C.

      2:1

    • D.

      1:1

    Correct Answer
    C. 2:1
    Explanation
    The ratio on ordering MVRs on an auto quote is 2:1, which means that for every 2 MVRs ordered, there is 1 policy written. This suggests that the company is more cautious and thorough in obtaining driving records (MVRs) before issuing a policy, as they order twice as many MVRs as the number of policies written.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Why do we capture driving behavior when quoting a homeowner's policy?

    • A.

      We do not rate for it, just gather the driving behavior for general fact finding purposes.

    • B.

      There is a direct correlation between auto and home claims. Driving behavior is reflective of claim behavior.

    • C.

      Driving behavior is not captured when quoting a homeowner's policy.

    • D.

      Driving behavior is used to determine qualification for a homeowner's policy.

    Correct Answer
    B. There is a direct correlation between auto and home claims. Driving behavior is reflective of claim behavior.
    Explanation
    Capturing driving behavior when quoting a homeowner's policy is important because there is a direct correlation between auto and home claims. The way a person drives can be reflective of their claim behavior, meaning that someone who has a history of reckless driving may also be more likely to file claims for damages to their home. Therefore, gathering information about driving behavior helps insurers assess the risk profile of the homeowner and make more accurate underwriting decisions.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    True or False: It is necessary to obtain the number of occupants in the household, including all children.

    • A.

      True; all occupants, including children, need to be accounted for.

    • B.

      False; only occupants over the age of 18 need to be accounted for.

    Correct Answer
    A. True; all occupants, including children, need to be accounted for.
    Explanation
    It is necessary to obtain the number of occupants in the household, including all children. This is because the number of occupants in a household can affect various factors such as the amount of resources needed, the size of living space required, and the allocation of services and benefits. Therefore, it is important to have an accurate count of all occupants, regardless of their age.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A billing notice is mailed out _____ days before the bill is due.

    • A.

      7

    • B.

      14

    • C.

      20

    • D.

      30

    Correct Answer
    C. 20
    Explanation
    A billing notice is typically mailed out 20 days before the bill is due. This allows the recipient enough time to receive the notice, review the bill, and make the necessary payment before the due date. This timeframe also allows for any potential delays in mail delivery, ensuring that the customer has ample time to respond to the billing notice.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    True or False:  Future Effective Items are tied to the Future Effective Date discount.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Future Effective Items are not tied to the Future Effective Date discount. The statement implies a connection between Future Effective Items and the Future Effective Date discount, but this is not true. Future Effective Items refer to items that will take effect in the future, while the Future Effective Date discount refers to a discount that will be applied on a specific date in the future. These two concepts are unrelated and do not depend on each other. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    True or False:  When quoting a homeowner's policy, the age of the roof automatically defaults to being 7 years old.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false. The age of the roof does not automatically default to being 7 years old when quoting a homeowner's policy. The age of the roof is determined based on the actual age of the roof, which can vary for each individual homeowner. The age of the roof is an important factor in determining the premium and coverage of the homeowner's policy.
