Ask the Expert:
Is there an easier way of assessing or quantifying losses when they are too small to warrant engaging an accountant? Also, is there some basic information that should be requested that will provide a sound logical approach to the measurement of these types of losses?

- Ask the Expert:
- The insurance policy is subject to a monthly limit and the business income and extra expense loss for the first period exceed the limit of liability. Is it proper to amortize set-up costs over the period of restoration and not charge them all to the first period? For example, the insured purchases a temporary office trailer for $25,000 with set-up charges of $5,000. Is the entire $30,000 written off in the first period, or is it appropriate to charge off 1/6 of the charges per month? The benefit derived from the expense is experienced during the entire restoration period. If the item is accounted for incrementally, then do you also amortize the costs to remove and take down the office? In other words, are 1/6th of the charges accounted for in the first period?
