Answer 1

Part A liability limits are 50/120/70. This means that there is a bodily injury limit of $50,000 per person per accident and a total bodily injury limit of $120,000 per accident. There is a property damage limit of $70,000 per accident.

a). Since property damage limit is 70,000, the total amount of 31,000 will be paid for the other car's damage.

b). For the injuries, the insurer will pay: Person #1 - 50,000; Person #2 - 50,000; Person #3 - 14,000.

c). Jethro's car damage will be covered under Part D of the policy which is coverage for damage to the insured's auto.
