\(\begin{array}{c|c}
\text{Name} & \text{Insure amount} & \text{Actual value} & \text{Actual loss} \\
\hline
\text{Mr A} & 30,000 & 100,000 & 40,000 \\
\hline
\text{Mr B} & 40,000 & 120,000 & 50,000 \\

\text{Mr C} & 50,000 & 15,000 & 70,000 \\

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 answer is 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
