Acme Manufacturing Company is insured under two primary Commercial General Liability (CGL) policies. Policy A has an each-occurrence limit of $1,000,000 and Policy B has an each-occurrence limit of $2,000,000. Acme submitted a claim for $2,400,000 arising from a single occurrence for an incident that is covered by both policies. How much of the claim is payable under Policy B if the loss payment is based upon contribution by equal shares?

B) $1,400,000

Explanation:

Policy A will cover $1,000,000 and policy B will cover $1,400,000
