Leland has two insurance policies covering his home. Indemnify Insurance
carries a $120,000 limit of liability on the home, while Binders Keepers, Inc.
carries a limit of $80,000. A fire breaks out in Leland's kitchen and causes
$40,000 in damage. Remember, when there are two or more policies
covering the same risk, the "other insurance clause", determines the
method used to calculate each company's share of the claim. Leland's
policy states that the pro-rata share method will be used. Which of the
following is the correct amount that will be paid by Indemnify Insurance?
$24,000.00. Using the pro-rata share method, where we divide Indemnify

is $24,000.
