Practice
1. An insurance policy for a $10,000 properly which has:
Insurance amount: $9,000. Deductible: 10% loss but no less than $500. The
deductible rule is applied before the pro data rule.
After an accident, damage is $3,000. How much is the insurer payout?
Deductible amount = 10% of loss but not less than $500
Deductible amount = 10% x $3,000 = $300 < $500
Since $300 < $500, the deductible amount applied is $500.
Covered loss = Loss amount – Deductible amount = $3,000 - $500 =
$2,500
Insurer payout = Covered loss x (Insurance amount/Property value) =
$2,500 x ($9,000/$10,000) = $2,250
Therefore, the insurer will pay $2,250 to cover the property damage.
2. A $20,000 property is insured by an policy which has the limit covered 85%
its value
Deductible: 10% loss but no less than $500. The deductible rule is applied
before the pro rate rule.
After an accident, damage is $8,000. How much is the insurer payout?
Deductible amount = 10% of loss but no less than $500
Deductible amount = 10% x $8,000 = $300 < $500
Since $800 > $500, the deductible amount applied is $800
Covered loss = Loss amount – Deductible amount = $8,000 - $800 =
$7,200
Insurer payout = Covered loss x (Insurance amount/Property value) =
$7200 x 85% = $6,120
Therefore, the insurer will pay $6,120 to cover the property damage
3. An insurance policy for a $500,000 property which has:
Insurance limit: $420,000 (Insurance limit is constant during insurance
period)
Deductible: 10% loss but no less than $2,000
During the validity period of the contract, the following incidents have
occurred (as shown in the table)
Determine the total insurer payout of the year. Calculate in 2 cases: the
deductible rule is applied before the pro data rule, and verse.
Date Damage Property value (before incidents)
Feb 1 100,000 500,000
June 15 10,000 480,000
Sep 20 50,000 480,000
(1) Feb 1. 10% of loss = 100,000 x 10% = 10,000 > 2000
Deductible is 10,000
420,000
Insurer payout = (100,000 – 10,000) x 500,000 = 75600
Deductible is 2000
420,000
Insurer payout = (10,000 - 2000) x 480,000 = 7000
Sep 20. 10% of loss = 50,000 x 10% = 5000 > 2000
Deductible is 5000
420,000
Insurer payout (50,000 - 5000) x 480,000 = 39375
Total payout = 75600 + 7000 + 39375 = 121975
