Question

. If Carissa Dalton has a $130,000 home insured for $100,000, based on the 80 percent coinsurance provision, how much would the insurance company pay on a $5,000 claim

Answer 1

Answer:

$4,807.69

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the requirement for coinsurance

= 80/100 × 130,000

= 0.8× 130,000

= 104,000

Therefore the amount in which the insurance person will pay can be calculated as follows

= 100,000/104,000 × 5000

= 0.96153×5000

= $4,807.69
