Hi! Please anyone guide me as to how to apply "average clause" for the "loss of stock" in the following question:- A fire occurred in the business premises of M/s Aggarwal & Sons on 15th October, 2008. From the following particulars ascertain the loss of stock and prepare a claim for insurance:- Stock(1-01-2007) ------------------------------------------------------- Rs.45900 Purchase(from 1-01-2007 to 31-12-2007) -----------------------Rs.183000 Sales(from 1-01-2007 to 31-12-2007)-----------------------------Rs.270000 Stock(31-12-2007)-------------------------------------------------------Rs.40500 Purchase(from 1-01-2008 to 14-10-2008)------------------------Rs.220500 Sales(from 1-01-2008 to 14-10-2008)-----------------------------Rs.225000 The stocks were always valued at 90% of cost. The stock saved from fire was Rs.27000. The amount of policy was Rs.94500. There was an 'average clause' in the polilcy. |
