Answer:
The personal umbrella policy is excess liability insurance that provides protection against legal liability that is over and above that provided by auto, home, and boat insurance. People with significant assets need an umbrella liability policy to cover lawsuits that can sometimes amount to millions of dollars.
The umbrella policy also has broad coverage that covers some claims that wouldn't be covered at all by home and auto insurance, such as personal injury lawsuits arising from false arrest, slander and libel, or rental units that the insured may own. Not only is the cost of direct damages covered, but also the cost of consequential damages, such as the lost income suffered by a severely injured person because of the injuries. The personal umbrella policy also pays for the legal defense of lawsuits that is in addition to the policy limit for damages. So if you are sued and held liable for $1 million, and your legal costs are $200,000, then a policy providing $1 million of coverage will pay the full claim plus the $200,000 for legal costs.

The formula is
I=prt
I interest earned 16
P principle 1300
R interest rate 0.04
T time t/365days
16=1300×0.04×(t/365)
