    It's obvious the market value or you say reistatement value / Sum assured which ever is less.
    So in this case the Sum assured id less than Reinstatement value so 100000 is payable less depreciation.

    a) restatement policy
    b) market value policy
    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

    If you have any kind of problem regarding general insurance please contact me.

    And yes there is no benifit or difference in taking insurance on restatement value or market value if its the case of underinsurance.
