The replacement was necessary because one of Blossom’s employees had accidentally backed his truck into Blossom’s original equipment and made it inoperable. Because of the accident, the equipment had no resale value to anyone and had to be scrapped. Blossom’s insurance policy provided for a replacement of its equipment and paid the price of the new equipment directly to the new equipment manufacturer, minus the deductible amount paid to the manufacturer by Blossom. The $3,500 that Blossom paid was the amount of the deductible that it has to pay on any single claim on its insurance policy. The new equipment represents the same value in use to Blossom.
