CHAPTER - 4 INSURANCE CLAIM


A fire insurance policy is taken to cover two types of losses:
(a) Loss of stock policy
(b) Loss of profit policy
Lets revise computation of claim for Loss of stock policy
Revision question 1:
Stock in godown on the date of fire = 5,00,000

Salvage value of stock = 1,00,000

Face value of policy = 3,00,000

Calculate claim for loss of stock under:

(a) General clause

(b) Average clause

Solution:

(a) Claim under general clause:

Lower of
Actual loss of stock Face value of policy
5,00,000 – 1,00,000 = 4,00,000 3,00,000

Revision question 3: A fire occurred in the premises of Sri. G. Vekatesh on 1.4.2024 and a considerable part of the
stock was destroyed. The stock salvaged was Rs 28,000. Sri Venkatesh had taken a fire insurance policy for Rs
17,10,000 to cover the loss of stock by fire. You are required to ascertain the insurance claim which the company
should claim from the insurance company for the loss of stock by fire. The following particulars are available:

Sales from 1.1.24 to 1.4.24 24,00,000 Wages paid 1.1.24 to 1.4.24 1,80,000
Sri Venkatesh had in June 2023 consigned goods worth Rs 50,000, which unfortunately were lost in an
accident.
Since there was no insurance cover taken, the loss had to be borne by him full.

Stocks at the end of each year for and till the end of calendar year 2022 had been valued at cost less 10%. From
2023, however there was a change in the valuation of closing stock which was ascertained by adding 10% to its
costs.

• It is also called consequential loss insurance policy.

Important Definitions:
1. Indemnity period- Indemnity period is any period not exceeding 12 months from the date of damage during
which the results of the business shall be affected due to fire.

indemnity period.

3. Actual turnover:- turnover during indemnity period.

4. Short sales - It is the difference between standard turnover and actual turnover or sales.

5. Annual turnover- It is the turnover during the 12months immediately before the date of damage.

PROCEDURE STEPS FOR CALCULATING CLAIM:


Step 1 .Calculation of short sales = Standard sales – actual sales

Step 2. Calculate of gross profit of the financial year preceding the year of fire.
Step 3. Calculation of rate of gross profit of the preceding financial year.

Revision question 10: From following details, calculate consequential loss claim:
● Date of fire: Sept. 1
● Indemnity period: 6 months
● Period of disruption September 1 to February 1
● Sum insured Rs 1,08,900.
● Sales were Rs 6,00,000 for preceding financial year ended 31st march.
● Net profit for preceding financial year Rs 36,000 plus insured standing charges Rs 72,000.
● Uninsured standing charges = Rs 6,000.
● Rate of gross profit 18%
● Turnover during disruption period Rs 67,500.

● Annual turnover for 12 months immediately preceding the date of fire Rs 6,60,000
● Standard turnover i.e. for corresponding months in the year preceding the date of fire Rs
2,25,000
● Increase in the cost of working capital Rs 12,000 with a saving of insured standing
charges Rs 4,500 during the disruption period;
● Reduced turnover avoided through increase in working capital Rs 30,000
● A special clause stipulated:
 Increase in rate of GP by 2%
 Increase in turnover (standard and annual) 10%
Solution:

GP rate = 18% + 2% = 20%


Short sale = standard turnover – actual turnover for indemnity period.
= (2,25,000 × 110%) – 67,500 = 1,80,000
G P Lost = Short sale × GP rate
= 1,80,000 × 20% = 36,000

SUSPENSE ACCOUNT: - If the difference in the trial balance is not quickly located, it is usual to put the
difference to suspense account in order to make the trial balance balanced.

If the debit side is short, the suspense account will be debited saying
“To differences in trial balance” and

Similarly, the suspense account will be credited if the credit side is short.

The difference in trial balance is due to type of mistakes which affect only one account, such as
wrong posting of an account, mistake in totaling a subsidiary book etc. Such types of mistakes are
only reflected in suspense account.
