Therefore, they exclusively transact business with non-admitted insurers.Rate this question:

- B.
The licensee must give written notice to the employer who then sends the license to the insurance commissioner
- C.

- D.
The licensee needs to give written notice of intent to the insurance commissioner
Correct Answer
D. The licensee needs to give written notice of intent to the insurance commissionerExplanation
To terminate a licensee's license that is in the possession of an employer, the licensee needs to give written notice of intent to the insurance commissioner. This means that the licensee must inform the insurance commissioner about their intention to terminate the license. It is not the employer's responsibility to return the license or send it to the insurance commissioner. The license cannot be terminated prior to the expiration date; it becomes inactive is also incorrect as it implies that the license will automatically become inactive without any action from the licensee or the insurance commissioner.Rate this question:

This means that insurance companies consider an individual's history of safe driving, including factors such as accidents, traffic violations, and claims history, when determining the premium for their auto insurance policy. A good safety driving record indicates responsible and cautious driving behavior, which is seen as less risky by insurance companies and therefore may result in lower premiums.Rate this question:

Compensation for a person's emotional suffering
- B.
Compensation for time away from work
- C.
Compensation for loss of a foot
- D.
Compensation for a scar
Correct Answer
B. Compensation for time away from workExplanation
Special damages refer to the specific financial losses or expenses incurred as a direct result of an injury or harm. Compensation for time away from work falls under special damages because it refers to the wages or income that an individual has lost due to their injury. This type of compensation is quantifiable and can be calculated based on the individual's salary or earnings. On the other hand, compensation for emotional suffering, loss of a foot, or a scar may fall under general damages, as they are more subjective and not easily quantifiable in monetary terms.Rate this question:

- A.
Extra expense coverage
- B.
Professional liability coverage
- C.
Building coverage
- D.
Business income coverage
Correct Answer
B. Professional liability coverageExplanation

Business income coverage helps replace lost income if the business is unable to operate due to a covered loss. However, professional liability coverage, also known as errors and omissions insurance, is not typically included in a business owner's policy. It is a separate type of insurance that specifically covers claims arising from professional services or advice provided by the business.Rate this question:

A voyage policy is a type of marine insurance that provides coverage for a specific voyage or journey.

- C.

The insurance Commissioner uses whether the rate mathematically reflects the insurance company's investment income as one of the main factors to determine whether a rate is excessive or unfairly discriminatory. This means that the Commissioner assesses whether the rate takes into account the company's investment income and if it is reasonable in relation to the risks and costs associated with providing insurance coverage.

- B.
If two or more perils happen at the same time to cause a loss, there is coverage for all of the damage if any of the perils are not excluded.
- C.
If a loss occurs concurrently with the expiration date of the policy, it is not covered
- D.
If two or more perils happen at the same time to cause a loss, then only the damage caused by one of the perils is covered
Correct Answer
A. If two or more perils happen at the same time to cause a loss, there is no coverage if any of the perils are excluded.Explanation
The commercial property policy's exclusion for "concurrent causation" means that if two or more perils occur simultaneously to cause a loss, there will be no coverage if any of those perils are excluded. In other words, if even one of the perils that contributed to the loss is excluded from coverage, the entire loss will not be covered by the policy.Rate this question:

- A.
There is no coverage unless the homeowner has made an earthquake coverage endorsement a part of the policy
- B.
The policy covers all of the damage since explosion is an insured peril
- C.
There is coverage, but only for the damage caused by the fire and explosion
- D.
The policy does not cover the damage since the HO-3 provides only named peril coverage
Correct Answer
C. There is coverage, but only for the damage caused by the fire and explosionExplanation
The correct answer is that there is coverage, but only for the damage caused by the fire and explosion. This is because the HO-3 form typically provides coverage for named perils, and in this case, the fire and explosion are considered insured perils. However, earthquake damage is not typically covered under the HO-3 form unless the homeowner has specifically added an earthquake coverage endorsement to their policy. Therefore, the damage caused by the earthquake itself would not be covered.Rate this question:

- C.

This means that the insured can transfer their rights and benefits under the policy to someone else, such as a family member or a business partner. This transfer can occur through a legal document known as an assignment agreement.

B. Breach of contractExplanation
A person can base their claim for legal liability on the basis of absolute liability, intentional tort, and negligence. However, breach of contract is not a basis for legal liability. Breach of contract refers to the failure to fulfill the terms of a contract, which typically results in a breach of contract claim rather than a claim for legal liability.

Business personal property refers to movable items owned by the business, including furniture, equipment, inventory, and any improvements made to the property that are not permanent fixtures.

- A.
Waived after the policy period
- B.
Waived only the designated perils during the policy period
- C.
Waived during the permit period
- D.
Waived only for designated perils during the permit period
Correct Answer
D. Waived only for designated perils during the permit periodExplanation
The correct answer is "Waived only for designated perils during the permit period." When the vacancy permit endorsement is added to a building and personal property coverage form, it means that the standard vacancy condition under the basic policy is waived, but only for specific perils that are designated during the permit period. This means that the coverage for these designated perils will still apply even if the property is vacant during the permit period, but coverage for other perils may still be subject to the vacancy condition.Rate this question:

However, it does not cover the cost of reasonable measures that the insured must take to prevent damage at the time of loss. This means that the insurance policy does not provide coverage for proactive measures taken by the insured to prevent potential damage.Rate this question:

- A.
Theft only losses
- B.
Collision and other-than-collision losses
- C.
Other-than-collision losses only
- D.
None. There is no coverage
Correct Answer
B. Collision and other-than-collision lossesExplanation
Under an unendorsed personal auto policy, transportation expense coverage applies to collision and other-than-collision losses. This means that if the insured vehicle is involved in a collision or any other type of non-collision incident, such as fire, vandalism, or theft, the policy will provide coverage for the cost of alternative transportation while the insured vehicle is being repaired or replaced. This coverage does not apply to theft-only losses or other types of losses not related to collisions or non-collision incidents.Rate this question:

An organization will cease to exist as an entity eligible to hold a license for all of the following reasons, except:
- A.
Termination of key employee
- B.
Dissolution of a co-partnership
- C.
Dissolution of a corporation
- D.
Termination of an association
Correct Answer
A. Termination of key employeeExplanation
An organization will cease to exist as an entity eligible to hold a license for all of the given reasons except the termination of a key employee. While the termination of a key employee may have an impact on the organization's operations and success, it does not directly result in the organization losing its eligibility to hold a license. On the other hand, the dissolution of a co-partnership, dissolution of a corporation, or termination of an association can lead to the organization ceasing to exist as a legal entity and therefore losing its eligibility for a license.Rate this question:

- A.
The exact amount the insurer will have to pay to close the claim
- B.
An estimate of the amount the insurer will pay
- C.
The maximum amount the insurer will have to pay to close the claim
- D.
Equal to claims paid divided by earned premium reserve, not including loss of adjustment expense
Correct Answer
B. An estimate of the amount the insurer will payExplanation
The correct answer is "An estimate of the amount the insurer will pay." This is because a loss reserve is a provision made by the insurer to cover the estimated cost of settling a claim. It represents the amount of money that the insurer expects to pay out in order to close the claim. It is not necessarily the exact amount that will be paid, as the final amount may vary based on factors such as negotiations, legal proceedings, or additional information that may arise during the claims process.Rate this question:

It is a way to ensure that the individual is properly protected in case of an accident or damage while driving a vehicle that they do not own.Rate this question:

Physical damage and liability coverage for all owned watercraft

C. Liability coverage for watercraft listed on the scheduleExplanation
The watercraft endorsement on a homeowner's insurance extends coverage for liability for watercraft listed on the schedule. This means that the policy will provide coverage for any legal liabilities that arise from owning and operating the specific watercraft that is listed on the policy schedule. It does not provide coverage for liability or physical damage for all owned watercraft or any watercraft that is not specifically listed on the schedule.Rate this question:
