Eric and Susan just purchased their first home, which cost $166,000. They purchased a homeowner’s policy to insure the home for $156,000 and personal property for $93,000. They declined any coverage for additional living expenses. The deductible for the policy is $500.
Soon after Eric and Susan moved into their new home, a strong windstorm caused damage to their roof. They reported the roof damage to be $26,000. While the roof was under repair, the couple had to live in a nearby hotel for three days. The hotel bill amounted to $680. Assuming the insurance company settles claims using the replacement value method, what amount will the insurance company pay for the damages to the roof?

Alicia's automobile destroyed in a tornado on 5/4/2021. This did not occur in a Federally declared disaster
area. Her car was used 70% for business and 30% for personal use. The car had originally cost $40,000. At
the time of the accident, the car was worth $20,000 and Alicia had taken $8,000 of depreciation. The car
was totally destroyed and Alicia had let her car insurance expire. If her AGI is $50,000 (before considering
the loss), determine her AGI and itemized deduction for the casualty loss.
