Carl's home sustains $50,000 damage in an electrical fire. The home is insured under a Homeowners policy for $75,000. At the time of the loss, the home's replacement cost is $125,000. How much will Carl's Homeowners policy pay for this loss? A) $50,000 B) $60,000 C) $93,750 D) $37,500

Answer D is correct. Carl did not maintain the required 80% of the value of the home in coverage to qualify for full replacement cost. The value of the home at the time of loss was $125,000. 80% of $125,000 is $100,000. Had he maintained the required $100,000 (80%), he would receive the full payment of the claim. But since he had $75,000 in coverage at the time the loss occurred, he will be penalized for not maintaining the 80% required. Therefore, the amount of actual coverage,$75,000, is 3/4 or 75% of the $100,000 in coverage that he should have had, therefore he will only receive 75% of the amount of loss: $50,000 x 75% = $37,500.
