Property & Casualty Exam Prep 7, Deductibles, Limits, and Coinsurance

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The difference between a per-occurrence limit, which caps a single event, and an aggregate limit, which caps total payments for the policy period. - How sublimits impose lower, specific caps on high-risk property like jewelry, regardless of the overall policy limit. - The purpose of a coinsurance clause is to encourage policyholders to insure their property to an adequate value, typically 80%. - The coinsurance penalty formula: (Insurance Carried ÷ Insurance Required) × Amount of Loss = Insurer's Payment (before deductible). - A critical exam trap is to always subtract the deductible *after* applying any coinsurance penalty, not before.
