On an ISO DP-1 Basic Form Dwelling policy without endorsements, how are covered losses to the dwelling settled?
AReplacement cost without depreciation
BFunctional replacement cost
Actual cash value (ACV)
DAgreed value with no coinsurance
Why this is the answer
The ISO DP-1 Basic Form is the most stripped-down dwelling form and settles losses on an actual cash value (ACV) basis, which is replacement cost minus depreciation. Unlike the DP-2 and DP-3, which automatically include replacement-cost settlement on the dwelling at 80% coinsurance, the DP-1 reverts to ACV unless the insured elects a Replacement Cost endorsement. This default reflects DP-1's positioning as a low-cost form for older or lower-valued dwellings (ISO DP 00 01 Section I Loss Settlement).
