Ten months into the policy period, CPG's garage is damaged by earthquake, a covered cause of loss under CPG's policy. Repair of the garage will take four months, during which time CPG will sustain a business income loss of $680,000.

b)How much will CPG be able to recover under its policy for the loss described? Show your calculations, and ignore any dollar or time deductibles that could apply.
