Expert Solution

1.a. We use the loss settlement formula. Carolyn does hot have 80% of the replacement amount. So, she does not receive the full amount

Amount she receives = 260,000/(0.8*400,000) * 20,000 = 16,250

The amount Carolyn collects from the insurer = $16,250

1.b. In this case Carolyn has homeowners insurance that covers 80% replacement amount. So, she receives the full amount

The amount Carolyn collects from the insurer = $20,000
