Sample questions & answers

1. For a commercial property policy, the insured must have an insurable interest in the property:

At the time of the loss

Property insurance requires an insurable interest at the time of loss so the insured can be indemnified for an actual loss.

2. A property-casualty policy is a contract of indemnity, meaning it is intended to:

Restore the insured to the pre-loss financial condition, no more

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

3. Actual cash value is most commonly calculated as:

Replacement cost minus depreciation

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

4. The principle requiring both parties to an insurance contract to deal honestly and disclose material facts is:

Utmost good faith

Utmost good faith (uberrimae fidei) requires honesty and full disclosure of material facts by both parties.
