Henderson Owned a Concrete Block Building Valued at $20,000

question 3

True/False

Henderson owned a concrete block building valued at $20,000. Because it was virtually fireproof, he insured it for only $10,000 under a policy of insurance which contained an 80% co-insurance clause. Some time later, the building was damaged by fire. Under a co-insurance clause, the insured becomes a partial insurer if he fails to maintain the required amount of insurance on the insured property.
