The previous home she owned was severely damaged by a tree falling through the roof, a peril that was not covered by her basic-form policy, therefore she is looking to buy a comprehensive policy that covers damage from all perils (except those specifically excluded).

Last year, Jose and Josefina Munoz bought a home with a dwelling replacement value of $250,000 and insured it (via an HO-5 policy) for $225,000. The policy reimburses actual cash value and has a $500 deductible, standard limits for coverage C items, and no scheduled property. Recently, burglars broke into the house and stole a new computer with a current replacement value of $1,500 and an estimated useful life of three years. They also took jewelry valued at $2,500 and a coin collection valued at $1,500. If the Munozs’ policy has a 90 percent co-insurance clause, do they have enough insurance? Assuming a 50 percent coverage C limit, calculate how much the Munoz family would receive if they filed a claim for the stolen items. What advice would you give the Munoz family about their homeowner’s coverage?
Amy is a business owner who purchased a policy of business insurance providing 1,000,000 limits for 1st party coverages. Covid and inflation has cut into her profits so she chose to purchase an actual cash value 1 party coverage limit as opposed to replacement cost. Unfortunately she had a fire and all of the contents of her office building were destroyed (computers, copying machine, phones etc.) Amy's office contents were quite old and had a value at the time of the fire of $550,000. The cost to replace these items, however, was $975,000. Amy is glad she purchased 1,000,000 limits thinking she will be able to buy new contents to replace the destroyed ones without having to spend any $. After all her limits are less than the cost to replace. Is she correct? Explain.
