On the Loss Funding Option Slot
Smith's family should buy the homeowner's insurance at 50% of the property worth (Coverage A). The personal property cover (coverage c) would be 50% of that number. Annual fee of $900 and deductible of $250. And will be extended once through the coverage (A, B, C, and D). They were supposed to buy a 50 per cent homeowner's policy instead of a full one, so they would have had to spend an additional $600 as a premium, and still the house is worth $1667 per year. Probability= Loss value (based on replacement costs)/25% value of dwelling
Loss value= 25%Xdwelling replacement costs loss value=25%X175, 000=43750.
Dwelling cost = $25,000+$150,000=175,000
dwelling cost=25%X175,000=43750.
Probability=43750/43750=1

If Karen dies probability= loss value/100,000
$72,000/100,000=0.72
