SAMPLE CASE STUDY EXAMINATION QUESTION
General information is provided about the risk which is to be studied.
Question:
Describe briefly three (3) property coverage features you would recommend for this risk. (6 marks)
Analyze the Question:
Three (3) property coverage features must be stated.
A brief description of each one is required – it is not sufficient just to list them.
The mark value is 6 so each feature is worth 2 marks.
An appropriate Answer:
- Replacement Cost Endorsement – to eliminate depreciation from the settlement of an insured loss, provided the insured repairs or replaces the damaged property.
- Blanket Coverage on Buildings, Equipment and Stock – instead of a specific sum insured on each item separately, it provides for a single combined total sum insured. This allows for fluctuations in value to be fully covered up to the total sum insured.
- Stated Amount Co-Insurance – the policy Co-Insurance condition is met by insuring to a stated amount rather than to a percentage of value. This is easier to comply with, particularly if insurable value change.
