An agreed amount endorsement provides for which of the following?

An agreed amount endorsement provides for which of the following?

• A. Provides for replacement of the property
• B. Provides an agreed upon limit of property insurance. An 'agreed amount' endorsement can also suspend the coinsurance clause.
• C. Extends liability coverage to tenants
• D. Reduces premiums

Answer: (B)

An agreed amount endorsement fixes a specific value as the insured amount for the property, establishing a set limit of property insurance. This means losses are paid up to that agreed amount, without the typical coinsurance penalties that apply when the property is underinsured. It often suspends the coinsurance clause as long as the insured maintains the agreed amount and follows policy terms. This is different from coverage that would replace property or extend liability to tenants, and it doesn’t automatically reduce premiums—the premium is tied to the agreed value and the policy terms.
