Can sum1 pleaz help me wit dis ACCOUNTING/FINANCE Question? & Explain How 2 Do?

Postby maddox » Thu Dec 22, 2011 7:17 am

Jim Smith, who lives in Territory 5, carries 10/20/5 compulsory liability insurance along with optional collision that has a $200 deductible. Jim was at fault in an accident that caused $1,800 damage to the other auto and $600 damage to his own. Also, the courts awarded $13,000 and $8,000 respectively, to the two passengers in the other car for personal injuries. How much does the insurance company pay, and what is Jim's share of responsibility?

How much does the insurance company pay, and what is Jim's share of responsibility?
10/20/5 =
Maximum coverage for Bodily Injury Liability per person/Maximum coverage for Bodily Injury Liability per accident/Maximum coverage for Property Damage Liability per accident
*Note: All numbers are in thousands.

600 + 1,800 + 13,000 + 8,000 = $23,400 total damages
Jim pays the first $200 as a deductible.
Jim will also have to pay $3,000 for the amount over $10,000 paid to the first passenger. The insurance company is responsible for the rest.

Jim = $3,200
Insurance Company 23,400 - 3,200 = $20,200
