a. Culbreath Company purchased a building to store finished goods. They insured the building for $150,000 under a property insurance policy that included an 80 percent coinsurance clause and a $500 deductible. When the building was valued at $250,000 it was damaged by a fire. The damage was $90,000. Assuming “fire” is a covered peril, how much will Culbreath Company receive from their insurer to settle this claim? (2 points)
b. Jennings Company has a general liability insurance policy with Insurer #1 with a $250,000 per-occurrence limit. Jennings has a second general liability insurance policy with another insurer (Insurer #2) with a $100,000 per-occurrence limit. A customer was injured at a Jennings store, and Jennings was ordered pay $140,000 in damages to the injured customer.

c. Audra purchased a living room set for $3,500. Her home and the contents were destroyed by a tornado (a covered peril).

If the living room set was insured on an actual cash value basis, how much will Audra collect for this loss? Assume a $250 deductible applies to the loss. (2 points)
