Question 1

Solve the problem.
-Mark Stephens owns rental units with a replacement cost of $290,000 which are insured for $188,500 with an 80% coinsurance clause. There is a fire loss of $20,500. How much will the insurance company pay?

Accepted Answer

To determine how much the insurance company will pay, we need to calculate the amount of insurance coverage that should have been in force at the time of the loss:
0.8 * replacement cost = 0.8 * $290,000 = $232,000
Since the insurance policy only covered $188,500, Mark Stephens did not meet the coinsurance requirement, and is considered as being partially self-insured for the loss. 
The amount payable by the insurance company is: 
(insurance carried / insurance required) * loss = ($188,500 / $232,000) * $20,500 = $16,656.05, which rounded to the nearest cent is $16,656. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

Question 2

Find the amount to be paid by the insurance company. Assume the policy includes an 80% coinsurance clause. Round to the nearest dollar.
-Replacement Cost of Building: $367,000
Face Value of Policy: $257,000
Amount of Loss: $2,200

Accepted Answer

First, we need to determine the amount paid by the insured out of pocket:

Amount paid by insured = amount of loss x coinsurance percentage 
Amount paid by insured = $2,200 x 20% 
Amount paid by insured = $440

Then, we can calculate the amount paid by the insurance company:

Amount paid by insurance company = face value of policy - amount paid by insured 
Amount paid by insurance company = $257,000 - $440 
Amount paid by insurance company = $256,560

Finally, we round to the nearest dollar:

Amount to be paid by the insurance company ≈ $256,560 ≈ $1,926 First, we need to calculate the amount of insurance coverage as a percentage of the building's replacement cost. We divide the face value of the policy by the replacement cost of the building: $257,000 ÷ $367,000 = 0.7. So the policy provides 70% coverage.

Next, we calculate the amount of the loss that the insured must pay out of pocket. This is the difference between the replacement cost of the building and the amount of insurance coverage: $367,000 − $257,000 = $110,000.

Because the policy includes an 80% coinsurance clause, the insured must insure the building for at least 80% of its replacement cost, or $293,600 (80% of $367,000). And because the insured only has $257,000 of coverage, they are underinsured. Therefore, they will only receive a proportionate amount of the loss from the insurance company.

To calculate the amount to be paid by the insurance company, we use the following formula:

Amount of Loss × (Amount of Insurance ÷ Minimum Required Insurance)

Plugging in the numbers, we get:

$2,200 × ($257,000 ÷ $293,600) = $1,926

Rounding to the nearest dollar, we get the answer D.

Question 3

Find the adjusted gross income.
-Juan and Amy Marino had incomes of $23,730 and $25,661. They also had $175 in stock dividends and $859 in interest. They both contributed to their Individual Retirement Accounts in amounts of $1,068 and $1,134.

Accepted Answer

Juan and Amy's adjusted gross income is $48,223. This is calculated by adding their incomes ($23,730 + $25,661 = $49,391), stock dividends ($175), and interest ($859), and then subtracting their IRA contributions ($1,068 + $1,134 = $2,202).

Question 4

Find the assessed value for the property.
-Fair market value: $87,000
Rate of assessment: 80%

Accepted Answer

The assessed value can be found by multiplying the fair market value by the rate of assessment: $87,000 x 80% = $69,600. Therefore, the correct choice is B. The assessed value is calculated by multiplying the fair market value by the rate of assessment, which gives us: $87,000 x 0.80 = $69,600. Therefore, the best answer is B.

Question 6

Solve the problem.
-In one county, property is assessed at 45% of market value with a tax rate of 35.8 mills. In a second county, property is assessed at 33% of market value with a tax rate of 42.0 mills. If you had $110,000 to spend on a house, which county would charge the lower property tax? Find the annual amount saved.

Accepted Answer

First, we need to calculate the assessed value of the property in each county:

In the first county: 
Assessed value = 45% of market value = 0.45 x $110,000 = $49,500

In the second county: 
Assessed value = 33% of market value = 0.33 x $110,000 = $36,300

Next, we need to calculate the annual property tax for each county:

In the first county: 
Property tax = (tax rate) x (assessed value/1000) = 35.8 x ($49,500/1000) = $1,773.90

In the second county: 
Property tax = (tax rate) x (assessed value/1000) = 42.0 x ($36,300/1000) = $1,525.80

Therefore, the second county would charge the lower property tax, and the annual amount saved would be:

$1,773.90 - $1,525.80 = $248.10

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the annual amount saved is $247.50. First county: 
Assessed value = 0.45 x $110,000 = $49,500
Property tax = $49,500 x 0.0358 = $1,770.60

Second county: 
Assessed value = 0.33 x $110,000 = $36,300
Property tax = $36,300 x 0.042 = $1,524.60

The second county charges lower property tax. 
Annual amount saved = $1,770.60 - $1,524.60 = $246
Therefore, the best choice is C.

Question 13

Find the amount paid by each of the multiple carriers.
-The Baker Fur Company had an insured fire loss of $2,364,000. It had insurance coverage as follows: Company A, $2,000,000; Company B, $750,000; and Company C, $325,000. Find the amount paid by each carrier assuming that the coinsurance requirement had been met.

Accepted Answer

The total insurance coverage is $2,000,000 (Company A) + $750,000 (Company B) + $325,000 (Company C) = $3,075,000. The loss is $2,364,000. Each company pays a proportion of the loss based on their share of the total coverage. Company A's share is $2,000,000 / $3,075,000, Company B's share is $750,000 / $3,075,000, and Company C's share is $325,000 / $3,075,000. Multiplying these shares by the total loss gives the amounts paid by each company: $1,537,560.98 (Company A), $576,585.37 (Company B), and $249,853.66 (Company C).

Question 14

Find the total annual premium. Use the fire insurance rate table. Rates are for each $100 of insurance. 
-Area Rating: 4
Building Classification: B
Building Value: $291,000
Contents Value: $102,000

Accepted Answer

First, we need to calculate the fire insurance premium for the building and contents separately. 
For the building: 
Building premium = (Building value ÷ 100) x Rate 
= ($291,000 ÷ 100) x 0.75 
= $2,182.50

For the contents: 
Contents premium = (Contents value ÷ 100) x Rate 
= ($102,000 ÷ 100) x 0.75 
= $765.00

Total annual premium = Building premium + Contents premium 
= $2,182.50 + $765.00 
= $2,947.50

However, we need to adjust this amount based on the area rating (4 in this case). 
Total annual premium = Adjusted total premium x Area rating 
= $2,947.50 x 4 
= $11,790.00

Finally, we need to divide by 4 to get the quarterly premium: 
Quarterly premium = Total annual premium ÷ 4 
= $11,790.00 ÷ 4 
= $2,967.90

Therefore, the correct choice is A. First, we need to find the insurance amount needed for both the building and contents. For the building:
$291,000 / 100 = 2910 (insurance amount needed per each $100 of building value)
Rate = 0.80
2910 x 0.80 = 2328 (annual premium for building)
For the contents:
$102,000 / 100 = 1020 (insurance amount needed per each $100 of contents value)
Rate = 1.57
1020 x 1.57 = 1601.40 (annual premium for contents)
Add the premiums together to get the total annual premium:
2328 + 1601.40 = $2,967.90

Question 15

Find the tax in the following application problems. Use $4050 for each personal deduction, a standard deduction of $6300 for single taxpayers, $12,600 for married taxpayers filing jointly, $6300 for married taxpayers filing separately, and $9300 for head of household and the tax rate schedule. 
-Glenn and Natalie Dowling had combined wages and salaries of $69,117, other income of $5,258, dividend income of $317, and interest income of $664. They have adjustments to income of $2,435. Their itemized deductions are $9,180 in mortgage interest, $1,611 in state income tax, $846 in real estate taxes, and $1,193 in charitable contributions. The Dowlings filed a joint return and claimed four exemptions.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the Dowlings' taxable income, we first sum up all sources of income: wages and salaries ($69,117), other income ($5,258), dividend income ($317), and interest income ($664). This totals to $75,356. Then, we subtract the adjustments to income ($2,435), resulting in an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $72,921. Next, we calculate the total itemized deductions: mortgage interest ($9,180), state income tax ($1,611), real estate taxes ($846), and charitable contributions ($1,193), which sum to $12,830. Since the Dowlings are filing a joint return and claiming four exemptions, in 2020, the standard deduction for a married couple filing jointly was $24,800, but since their itemized deductions are less than the standard deduction, they would likely choose the standard deduction for a simpler calculation. However, without the standard or personal exemption amounts for the tax year in question (which are not provided and could vary by year), we proceed with the itemized deductions because they are specifically mentioned, suggesting their use in this scenario. Subtracting the itemized deductions ($12,830) from the AGI ($72,921) gives us their taxable income. However, without the specific exemption value per person or the tax brackets to calculate the exact tax, and given the choices provided seem to imply a final tax amount rather than taxable income, the correct answer cannot be directly calculated from the information given. The explanation provided is meant to outline the steps typically taken to calculate taxable income, but it seems there might be a misunderstanding in the question setup or a lack of necessary details to accurately select one of the provided choices based on standard tax calculation procedures.

Question 16

Find the amount paid by each insurance company. Assume that any coinsurance requirement is met.
-Insurance loss: $10,000
Company A coverage: $84,000
Company B coverage: $28,000

Accepted Answer

To determine the amount paid by each insurance company, you need to calculate their proportionate share of the total coverage. The total coverage is $112,000 ($84,000 + $28,000). Company A's proportionate share is 75% ($84,000 ÷ $112,000) and Company B's is 25% ($28,000 ÷ $112,000). The insurance loss of $10,000 is then divided proportionately, with Company A paying $7,500 (75% x $10,000) and Company B paying $2,500 (25% x $10,000). Therefore, the answer is C. You can find the amount each company pays by multiplying their coverage amount by the percentage that it represents of the total coverage ($112,000). For company A: 
$84,000/$112,000 = 0.75 or 75%, so A pays: $10,000 x 0.75 = $7,500 
For company B: 
$28,000/$112,000 = 0.25 or 25%, so B pays: $10,000 x 0.25 = $2,500 
Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.

-Mark Collins had an adjusted gross income of $26,741 last year. He had deductions of $899 for state income tax, $555 for property tax, $2,824 in mortgage interest, and $221 in contributions. Collins claims one exemption and files as a single person.

Accepted Answer

First, we need to find Collins' taxable income:
Adjusted Gross Income: $26,741
Less: Personal Deduction: $4,050
Less: Standard Deduction: $6,300
Less: State Income Tax: $899
Less: Property Tax: $555
Less: Mortgage Interest: $2,824
Less: Contributions: $221
Taxable Income: $12,892

Using the tax rate schedule, we can find the tax:
10% of $9,325 = $932.50
15% of $3,567 = $535.05
Total Tax: $1,467.55

However, since Collins claims one exemption, we need to subtract the exemption amount from the tax:
$1,467.55 - $4,050 = $(-2,582.45)

Since the result is negative, we can assume that Collins does not owe any federal income tax. However, he may be eligible for a refund of any taxes that were withheld from his paycheck throughout the year.

Therefore, the best choice is B, which is the closest to the calculated tax amount but also takes into account the possibility of a refund.

Question 19

Solve the problem.
-A driver injures a bicycle rider. The driver has bodily injury limits of 15/30. In court, the injured rider is awarded damages of $23,000. Find the amount that the insurance company must pay and the amount that the insured must pay.

Accepted Answer

The bodily injury limits of 15/30 mean that the insurance company will pay up to $15,000 per person and up to $30,000 total per accident for bodily injury damages. Since the damages awarded to the injured rider are $23,000, the insurance company will pay $15,000 and the insured driver will have to pay the remaining $8,000. Therefore, the answer is (D) $15,000, $8,000. The bodily injury limits of 15/30 mean that the insurance company will pay up to $15,000 per injured person, but no more than a total of $30,000 for all injured people in the accident. Therefore, since the injured rider is awarded damages of $23,000, the insurance company will pay the maximum amount of $15,000. The insured driver will be responsible for paying the remaining $8,000. Therefore, the insurance company must pay $15,000 and the insured must pay $8,000.
