You Can't. When we buy home owners insurance we basically have two options for the coverage type.1. RCV, Replacement Value2. ACV, or depreciated ValueIf you purchased an RCV ( replacement ) policy then the company will pay the amount needed to either repair or replace the property within the policy limits you purchased..If you purchased an ACV (depreciated Value) policy then they will pay the amount needed to repair the property or they will pay you the depreciated cash value of the property if not repairable whichever is less and within policy limits.


What is the distinction between accounting policies and accounting basis?

A layman's answer. Policies provides guidance on how something is handled, judged, rated, ranked, executed, etc. Policy provides all concerned with direction on how to proceed. Example: my policy is to answer all questions in a layman's term. Basis amounts to "what is", or "to be", developed in order to comply with policy. For instance; the basis for our nation's policy on ransom is that to allow payment for acts involving hijacking/terrorism has been shown to encourage further activity of this nature. Our policy is to not pay ransom since it might contribute to further hijacking/terrorism acts. In accounting, such an example would be written as such: accounting policy allows for us of a two-year verses five-year depreciation schedule on the purchase of capital equipment. The accounting basis for this policy is that it would 1) decrease tax burden in the short term 2) retaining more company funds for use in capital improvements while 3) encouraging expenditure to expand the economy 4) providing job growth to 5) stimulate the economy.

Does Arkansas homeowners insurance laws have a depreciation on roofs Years ago in Arkansas there was no depreciation on homeowner policies for the roofs just wondering if that was still law?

Depreciation is determined by the policy and not the "insurance laws" If your policy has "replacement cost" benefit, there is no depreciation taken at the time of a claim. If your policy has "actual cash value" benefit, there is depreciation taken off your settlement at the time of a claim.


What is non-recoverable depreciation?

Non-Recoverable depreciation is depreciation that is not recoverable, that is the obvious answer. In most states a standard Replacement Cost Policy will pay an insured for the replacement cost minus deprecation. As long as you replace the item within a specified amount of time which is typically anywhere from 90 days to a year, you will be able to recover the amount that was depreciated. In a Actual Cash Value type policy this depreciation is NOT recoverable. It is very important to know what type of policy you have before you need it!

What type of depreciation is taken on a pool cover in a ho3 policy?

In an HO-3 homeowners insurance policy, a pool cover is typically considered personal property and may be subject to depreciation based on its actual cash value (ACV) at the time of loss. This means that the insurer will deduct depreciation from the replacement cost, reflecting wear and tear or age. However, if the pool cover is classified as part of the dwelling or part of the pool structure, different depreciation rules may apply. It's important to review the specific policy terms or consult with the insurer for precise details.
