Question:

Last year Charles and Kathy Price bought a home with a dwelling replacement value of $250,000 and insured it (via an HO-3 policy) for $210,000. The policy reimburses for 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 2-year-old television set with a current replacement value of $600 and an estimated useful life of 8 years. They also took jewelry valued at $1,850 and silver flatware valued at $3,000.

a. If the Prices’ policy has an 80% co-insurance clause, do they have enough insurance?

b. Assuming a 50% coverage C limit, calculate how much the Prices would receive if they filed a claim for the stolen items.

c. What advice would you give the Prices about their homeowner’s coverage?
