Farmer Steve barely escapes a massive tornado, but the storm does completely destroy one of the barns on his property. Luckily, Steve has an insurance policy on his barn with a replacement cost endorsement, and the barn was fully insured. At the time of the loss, the actual cash value of the barn was $65,000, and its replacement cost is currently $85,000. When will Steve receive full indemnification for his losses on the barn?

Answer: When he replaces the barn and submits receipts to the insurer. Replacement cost policies pay ACV at first, and reimburse the insured for the full cost of repair or replacement once the work is complete. The insurer will wait until Steve provides the receipts for replacing the barn before indemnifying him for the full amount.
