The aggregating specific deductible value used in the examples is set at how much?

• A. 25k
• B. 50k
• C. 75k
• D. 100k

Answer: (B)

Understanding how an aggregating deductible works across a policy period helps you see how costs are shared over time. In the examples, the aggregating deductible is set at 50,000. This means the insured must absorb losses up to a total of 50,000 during the policy period, and only losses beyond that threshold are eligible for payment by the insurer (subject to policy limits). Choosing 50,000 gives a clear, easy-to-follow illustration of how multiple claims accumulate toward the deductible and how the insurer starts to contribute afterward. If the deductible were smaller, the illustration would reach the threshold quickly with just a few claims, and if it were larger, it would take many more losses to trigger insurer payment, making the concept harder to grasp in a classroom example.
