- Assume you live on the Texas Gulf Coast, where hurricane damage can be extensive. Also assume that you own a two-story frame home valued at $120,000. You insured the house for $80,000, which was your purchase price four years ago. If you had a total loss, what reimbursement would you receive from your insurer? What if you had a loss of $10,000? (Assume an 80 percent coinsurance provision.)
- Erin Lavinsky works for the Pharmacy On-Line company in Austin,
Texas. She uses her business computer for personal matters and has

collapsed and business was interrupted for a day until the backup
system was brought up. Respond to the following questions:
- Describe the types of risk exposures that Pharmacy On-Line is facing as a result of e-commerce.
- If Pharmacy On-Line purchased the ISO endorsement in Chapter 26 "Appendix C", would it be covered for the lost day?
- Describe what other risk exposures could interrupt the business of Pharmacy On-Line.
- What is a standard policy? Why is a standard policy desirable (or undesirable)?
- Marina Del Ro Shipping Company expanded its operations to the
