A homeowner remodeled their kitchen in November 2018. The remodel project included purchasing a high-end residential grade dishwasher with a 10 year useful life expectancy that cost $10,000. The current replacement cost of the dishwasher is $15,000. Breaking news: Last night a fire destroyed the dishwasher. If the homeowner maintains Property coverage on an actual cash value (ACV) basis, how much would they recover from their insurer for the dishwasher? $5,000 $10,000 O $7,500 O $15,000

- home depreciated value before the damage was $100,000
- home value to rebuild is $150,000
- home mortgage $120,000
