Sample questions & answers

1. In property insurance, insurable interest must generally exist:

At the time of the loss

In property insurance, insurable interest must exist at the time of loss so the insured suffers a genuine financial loss.

2. The principle of indemnity in property insurance means the insured should be:

Restored to the pre-loss financial condition without profiting

Indemnity restores the insured to the financial position held before the loss, without allowing a profit.

3. Actual cash value is generally calculated as:

Replacement cost minus depreciation

Actual cash value is generally replacement cost less depreciation at the time of loss.

4. If a homeowner insures a dwelling for less than the coinsurance clause requires, a partial loss payment will be:

Reduced by a coinsurance penalty

Underinsuring below the coinsurance requirement triggers a penalty that reduces the partial loss payment.
