Sum Insured 1000000
Reinstatement value of the property 1200000
Loss 100000
Answer 1
Since Reinstatement value(RV) is more than the sum insured there is underinsurance and there is no depreciation since it is reinstatement value
therefore,
claim payable=SI/RV * Loss Payable
=(1000000/1200000) * 100000
=83333 is the claim payable for Reinstatement value
Answer 2
Market Value
Here sum insured is 1000000 but reinstatement value is 1200000 again there is underinsurance so 10% should be depreciated from Reinstatement value to arrive market value
1200000 -120000=1080000 is the sum insured
Loss payable is 100000 less 10%depreciation ie 90000
therefore
Claim payable = SI/Market value*loss Payable
=1000000/1080000*90000
=83333 is the claim payable for Market value
