Linda’s home is worth $525,000. She has a homeowners policy with a $500,000
limit and a 1.5% deductible. When Linda’s husband sets their kitchen on fire while
frying a turkey, he accidentally causes $36,000 in damages. How much can Linda
and her husband expect to receive in their settlement?
Linda is fully insured with $500,000 in coverage. Her policy has a 1.5% deductible. 1.5%
of 500,000 = 7,500. So, when she suffers a $36,000 loss, her settlement will be $36,000
minus $7,500 which equals $28,500.

much will Jim be required to pay for the penalty?
he coinsurance requirement of 80% means that Jim should have maintained a minimum
policy of $150,000 in coverage. Instead, Jim maintained a $100,000 policy, under-
insuring himself by a third. When the insurer invokes the coinsurance penalty, Jim is
then responsible for a third of the damages, which in this case totaled $45,000. So, Jim
