Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Course Objective #1 Brief Comparison of Forms as relates setting limit
21
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Intent of Form Regardless of the form chosen, the INTENT of the coverage is the same. Pay for the net profit that would have been earned and on-going operating expenses
22
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Accounting terms and Insurance terms are NOT the same Insurance – Net profit= sales minus cost of goods – All operating expenses are included in the “net profit” definition Accounting – Net Profit= sales minus cost of goods and operating expenses – The operating expenses are eliminated from this figure
23
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance Automatic ONLY one that has insurance to value requirement Maximum Period of Indemnity 120 days Monthly Limitation 1/3, ¼, 1/6 Overview of the Three Forms
24
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Business Income Defined We will pay for the actual loss of Business Income you sustain due to the necessary "suspension" of your "operations" during the "period of restoration". The "suspension" must be caused by direct physical loss of or damage to property at premises which are described in the Declarations and for which a Business Income Limit of Insurance is shown in the Declarations.
25
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Polling Question #3 25 Do you write either the monthly limitation form or maximum period of indemnity form for any of your business clients?
26
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Non Coinsurance Forms Maximum Period – Limited to 120 days – Set limit for 120 days (profits plus continuing operating expenses)
27
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Limit Of Insurance $100,000 How it “pays” Date Of Loss $100,000 Limit120 Days Payment Period BEGINS $60,000$10,000 Payment Period ENDS Remaining $10,000 Of Coverage Is Not Available
28
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Maximum Period of Indemnity Limit Setting Choose “highest” four months NOTE: If anticipate ONLY 4 months there will typically not be as much “abatable” operating expenses. For an insured that has a lot of redundancy Still must Project MonthProfitsExpensesTotal May$25,000$5,000$30,000 June$40,000$22,000$66,000 July$48,000$29,000$77,000 August$22,000$14,000$36,000 Total 4 month$209,000
29
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Maximum Period of Indemnity Two major concerns with increasing this limit – Period of Indemnity Extension for loss of income after physical restoration – Add in amount of time chosen and an amount for that period – ALWAYS have Building Ordinance Increased Period of Restoration
30
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Maximum Period of Indemnity 4 month limit $209,000 Add 90 day extension $41,000 $250,000
31
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Maximum Period of Indemnity CAUTION 120 days coverage $250,000 limit available The “physical loss” lasts 6 months (180 days) NO coverage for the 60 additional days of restoration Restoration is complete and continues to lose profits for 2 months after opening. Remainder of limit available
32
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Non Coinsurance Forms Monthly Limit – Contains maximum per month – Set based on total time needed for profits and continuing operating expenses – Make sure have enough for largest month
33
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Limit of Insurance $100,000 1/4 Monthly Limit of Indemnity how it pays $100,000 (1/4) Amount Available each 30 days $25,000 Amount Loss Proven $25,000$20,000$15,000$10,000 Amount Available in subsequent months 0$ 5,000$10,000$15,000 Total Amount Available In Succeeding Months $30,000 Not To Exceed $25,000 In Any 30 Consecutive Days

36
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Difference The difference in the monthly limitation is that the MOST that can be collected in any 30 day period is $62,500 The best choice of percentages is 1/3 because it would allow the insured the MOST in any 30 day period $250,000 divided by 3= $83,333 $250,000 divided by 4= $62,500 $250,000 divided by 6 = $41,666

38
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Polling Question #4 38
39
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance The Business Income form is a coinsurance form unless one of the other options is chosen The Declarations Page will be where the limit of insurance appears and the type of business income form chosen If it is a coinsurance form then typically a percentage will appear after the amount of insurance (50%-125%)
40
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance ONLY The coinsurance has an “insurance to value” requirement based on the Business Income Worksheet The Business Income Worksheet basically requires the amounts for the total sales revenue (first page of worksheet) from which the cost of the goods and other allowable deductions are subtracted (second page)
41
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance Form The only two events that will stop the coinsurance form from paying anything additional are: – Physical Restoration – Exhaust the limits of insurance INDEMNITY NOT RESTRICTED TO THE 12 MONTH POLICY PERIOD
42
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance selection and suspension of Coinsurance
43
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com It is NOT that hard It is an insurance to value clause Coinsurance is different on a Commercial Property form—it is NOT a reduction method. (80/90/100) Coinsurance on a BI form is a reduction method. It tells you how much of the annual profit and operating expenses projected into the policy period that you chose to insure. (50-125%)
44
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Percentages Reflect the Amount Carried (begin with $1,000,000 Sales minus Cost of Goods) $500,000 (50%) $600,000 (60%) $700,000 (70%) $800,000 (80%) $900,000 (90%) $1,000,000 (100%) $1,250,000 (125%) 44
45
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Determining Coinsurance To determine how coinsurance works, must review the “coinsurance requirement statement” and the “coinsurance payment statement” in the insurance policy. 45
46
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com 46 Payment Statement for Coinsurance (Coverage) A.Coverage 1.Business Income Business Income means the: a. Net Income (Net Profit or Loss before income taxes) that would have been earned or incurred; and b. Continuing normal operating expenses incurred, including payroll.
47
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance Requirement Statement The Net Income (Net Profit or Loss before income taxes) and Operating expenses including payroll expenses that would have been earned or incurred had not loss occurred by your “operations'” at the described premises for the 12 months following the inception, or last previous anniversary date. 47
48
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Payment vs. Requirement The form intends to pay ONLY those expenses that continue but begins with a requirement to insure for ALL operating expenses whether they continue or not.
49
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance Selection PROFIT + CONTINUING OPERATING EXPENSES PROFIT + ALL OPERATING EXPENSES This is the MINIMUM amount of insurance that needs to be carried for the 12 months of the policy period
50
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Coinsurance Selection $1,000,000 $2,000,000 50 % $1,000,000 (50%) $100,000 (PROFIT) + $900,000 (CONTINUING OPERATING EXPENSES) $100,000 (PROFIT) + $1,900,000 (ALL OPERATING EXPENSES)
51
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Does it make sense??? People will say if the business is out of business for a year they need 100% coinsurance True only if there are NO abatable operating expenses
52
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Does it make sense??? People will say that if a business estimates they will be out of business for 6 months they need 50% coinsurance Maybe. In a short shutdown there are less abatable operating expenses which means there are MORE continuing operating expenses
53
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com When does a business need 125% Coinsurance? Minimum abatable operating expenses Long term shutdown
54
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Expenses Looking at the LONG shutdown (total loss) Looking at the SHORT shutdown (partial loss) The average Business Income claim lasts two weeks in length
55
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com See Exhibit #1 Coinsurance Worksheet
56
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com 56 Suspending Coinsurance with Agreed Value Indicated on the Declarations Page Coinsurance suspended until 12 months after effective date or expiration. Business Income Report/Work Sheet (CP 15 15) must be submitted to the company This date must be advanced every year or coinsurance is automatically reinstated. Agreed Valued does NOT agree to the value

Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com Polling Question #5 58
59
Insurance Community University www.InsuranceCommunityUniversity.com How To Begin Obtain a current financial statement from the insured with the notes that would accompany the exhibits.

62

64
