    Answer: $156,000

    Explanation: An insurance policy is a policy bought from an insurance company against any eventuality or loss. There is an annual payment by the client to the insurance company yearly. There are different types of insurance policy and they include: Burglary, Fire, Accident, Life assurance policy amongst others.

    Saunders insurance policy covers 78% of there insurable property valued " $200,000 which was co insured at 85%. Now they incurred $170,000 loss.

    Calculating the amount to be recovered thus:

    $170,000*78% (replacement cost)

    =170,000*0.78

    =132,600

    132,600/85% (co-insurance)

    =132,600/0.85

    =156,000
