USE AND OCCUPANCY INSURANCE
Blanket Coinsurance Form, the average rate applicable,
and the total premium cost.
This table serves as an important feature of this
Use and Occupancy Insurance Chart. By its use, it is
possible to check the Basic Estimate as determined
through the A-B-C Steps of Table 1. Table 1 arrives
at the Basic Estimate through a process of elimination.
Table 3 reverses this process and builds up an amount
which must agree with the Basic Estimate produced
*hrough the A-B-C Steps of Table 1.
Table No. 3
Column I—Opposite each item is entered the full annual
charge or cost anticipated for the next ensuing year.
The total of Column I should represent the full annual
operating charges and expenses anticipated for the next
ensuing year. Add to the total of Column I the esti-
mated Net Profit (or deduct in case of a Loss) expected
on the next fiscal year’s operations. It must be under-
stood that this estimate might differ from the Net
Profit (or Loss) as shown by the Profit and Loss State-
ment, but, under Use and Occupancy insurance we are
interested only in that portion of Net Profit (or Loss)
which is produced through business operations, not
extraneous sources. The result should equal ‘the
Basic Estimate produced through the A-B-C Steps of
Table 1. If it does not agree, all amounts entered in
Tables 1 and 3 should be carefully checked, particular
attention being given to the prospective increase or
decrease entered under Step C3 of Table 1 and the
expected estimated Net Profit (or Loss) as entered in
the final steps of Table 3.
Column II—While the amount of insurance required
ander the Blanket Coinsurance form is based on full
annual amounts of operating charges and expenses,
whether or not they continue after an interruption of
business, the amount for coverage under other forms is
based on those operating charges and expenses which
continue after an interruption. In fact, very few
items of expense could be discontinued during a short
business suspension, whereas many operating expenses
would be discontinued during a prolonged total business
suspension. It is recommended therefore that only
those items (or portions thereof) which would be dis-
continued during a short suspension be selected and
entered under Column II of Table 3.
