A warehouse is covered by two policies on the same property, one for $100,000 and one for $300,000, each with a pro rata other-insurance clause. A $40,000 covered loss occurs. The $100,000 policy pays:

a.$10,000
b.$20,000
c.$40,000
d.$30,000

Explicación

Pro rata sharing gives each policy the share its limit bears to the total insurance in force: $100,000 out of $400,000 is one quarter, so that policy pays one quarter of the $40,000 loss, or $10,000, while the larger policy pays $30,000. Splitting the loss evenly at $20,000 apiece ignores the limits, and no single policy pays the whole loss where a pro rata clause governs.
