\text{Mr B} & 40,000 & 120,000 & 50,000 \\ \hline

If Mr A takes a fire insurance policy with average clause, his compensation will be
A
N15,000
B
N20,000
C
N12,000
D
N25, 000
correct option: c
Since the policy is with average clause the formula used in calculating his compensation is
\(\frac{\text{Amount insured x total actual loss}} {\text{Total actual value of property}}\)
By this formula the compensation will be
Amount insured = N30,000
Amount loss = N40,000
Actual Value = N100,000
=\(\frac{30,000 \times 40, 000}{100,000}\)
= \(\frac{1200000000}{100,000}\) = 12,000
\(\frac{\text{Amount insured x total actual loss}} {\text{Total actual value of property}}\)
By this formula the compensation will be
Amount insured = N30,000
Amount loss = N40,000
Actual Value = N100,000
=\(\frac{30,000 \times 40, 000}{100,000}\)
= \(\frac{1200000000}{100,000}\) = 12,000
