Sasha Dozier had a homeowner’s insurance policy with $175,000 of coverage on the dwelling. Would a 90 percent co-insurance clause be better than an 80 percent clause in such a policy? Give reasons to support your answer.
Co insurance is a property insurance provision that penalizes the insured in case of underreporting the value of tangible property.
In the case of underreporting by the insured, the insured would recover less amount in case of loss. The example is given in the excel.

co-insurance clause is better.
