I must be having a brain meltdown right now. Can someone please explain to me how the formula works? I am pluggin in the numbers but seem to not get the correct answer, every time! I am using the formula that is in the unit.
Thanks,
Santino
I dont know how much help ill be, but i had major trouble with this one as well
ofcourse you know the formula: Loss x Limit of Insurance = your settlement
Value of Prop. x coinsurance %
So if your total loss was 20,000 and the insureds limit is 30,000
There total value of property is 50,000
and normal coinsurance is 80%
20,000 X 30,000
50,000 X 80%
I do the bottom half first so 50,000 x .8 = 40,000
Then divide next 30,000 divided by 40,000 =.75
thenmultiply them together to reach your settlement 20,000 x .75 = $15,000
Now if you still dont understand i can try and help you out more, but good luck with this
