What does COPE stand for?

construction, occupancy, protection, exposure
100

Which internal hazard groups are GAIG's sweet spot?

Hazard Groups 4 and 5

100

Stock is included under this type of coverage

Business Personal Property

100

Policy premium = $19,500

Paid loss = $5,713

What is the loss ratio? 

29%

($5,713/$19,500) * 100

100

What construction class has the highest loss cost rate? 

frame

200

Which PCs are considered "unprotected"

9 & 10

200

We are a market for above average risks. The operations have a higher potential for a large loss, but the special hazards or exposures can be controlled with property underwriting and loss prevention handling

HG 3

200

Necessary expenses you incur during the period of restoration that you would not have incurred if there had been no direct physical loss or damage to property caused by or resulting from a Covered Cause of Loss

Extra Expense

200
A building is covered on a policy for $1,000,000. 


No coinsurance. 


Deductible = $10,000


The building catches on fire and there is estimated to be $7,500 in damages. 

What do we pay out?

$0 

falls under deductible

200

What construction class has the lowest loss cost rate? 

fire resistive

300

Financial condition and management attitude are part of this COPE element

Occupancy

300

We are generally not a market for these classes due to the high hazards which are normally present. The agent should have an experienced book of business and/or the risk should be considered "best in class"

HG 1

300

Signs, whether attached to buildings or not are covered under this coverage

Building

300

A building is valued at $500,000. What is the amount of insurance they should carry to meet 90% coinsurance requirements?

$450,000

$500,000 * 0.9

300

Buildings where the exterior walls are construction of masonry materials such as adobe, brick, concrete, gypsum block, hollow concrete block, stone, tile or similar materials and where the floors and roof are combustible

Joisted Masonry 

400

Which COPE element includes evaluating ISO Public Protection and Community?

Protection

400

Give an example of an operation often declined due to extreme hazards

ammunition manufacturing, firework manufacturing, unsprinklered woodframe apartments, distillery, vacant buildings, sawmill

400

A period of time that begins immediately after the time of direct physical loss or damage and ends on the earlier of the date when the property at the described premises should be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced with reasonable speed and similar quality, or the date when business is resumed at a new permanent location

Period of Restoration

400

Value of property = $500,000

Coinsurance = 90%

Deductible = $5,000

Limit of Insurance = $350,000

Amount of Loss is $100,000

What do we pay?

$73,000

((Did/Should) X Loss)) – Deductible

$500,000 * 90 = $450,000 (insured should have carried this)

$350,000/$450,000 = .78% (penalty)

$100,000 * .78 = $78,000 (reduces loss payout)

$78,000 - $5,000 = $73,000 (applies the deductible)

400

Buildings where the exterior walls are construction of masonry materials with the floors and roof of metal or other non-combustible materials

Masonry Non-Combustible

500

Name the four types of operational hazards under Occupancy

physical, moral, common, special

500

Name a common hazard evaluated across most risks

electrical, heating, storage/housekeeping, smoking, financials, management

500

Under the SBP Building and Personal Property Coverage Form, SB 8602, - with respect to insurance on or at each newly acquired or constructed property, coverage will end when the policy expires or ___ days after the insured acquires the property or begins construction on that part of the building

90

500

Value of Property = $500,000

Coinsurance = 90%

Deductible = $1,000

Limit of Insurance = $450,000

Amount of Loss = $100,000

What do we pay?

$99,000

((Did/Should) X Loss)) – Deductible

$500,000 * 90 = $450,000 (insured should carried this)

$450,000/$450,000 = (no penalty)

$100,000 * 100% = $100,000 (no coinsurance penalty  - adequate limits)

$100,000 - $1,000 = $99,000 (applies the deductible)

500

Buildings where the exterior walls and the floors and roof are constructed of masonry or fire resistive materials with a fire resistive rating of one hour or more but less than two hours

Modified Fire Resistive
