A:
Answer:$17,000.00Step-by-step explanation:The value of the property is $240,000.00 with an 80% Coinsurance Clause, which means that the property should be inssured for $240,000*0.8=$192,000.00.The office building is insured for $200,000 wich is greater than the amount of money it should have been inssured for. If a loss of $17,000.00 occurs, then all $17,000.00 will be paid.
