Is replacement cost the same as insurable value?
No, insureable value or 'stated amount' is the MAXIMUM that will be paid for that item. replacement cost is the amount it will cost to actually replace the item.
Do you have to rebuild with replacement cost ins?
You make the decision to rebuild or not. However, per the terms of the replacement cost endorsement, if you choose not to rebuild then the company will pay you the actual cash value of the damage. If you rebuild, the company will pay replacement cost. No replacement, no replacement cost.
How would you define a current cost?

What does ACV mean?
A method for placing value on property as of the time of its loss or damage. ACV may be determined as replacement cost, new, less depreciation. The market value of an item may be used to help determine actual cash value. Contrast with replacement cost.
You have insurance on your home but no replacement insurance What does this mean?
HOAIt means our policy is based on actual value rather than replacement cost. It means that the insurance company is not guaranteeing you the replacement of your home if it burns down. For example, your insurance policy limit is $200,000, but the cost of replacing your home is $210,000, if you had a replacement policy, the insurance would pay for the replacement of your home despite the fact that your insurance limit is only $200,000. However, the insured value at the time of the loss is usually required to be at least 80% of the replacement cost before your policy is covered on a replacement cost basis.
What is replacement value?
This is defined as the cost to repair without regard to depreciation. All the homeowners policies that I have seen have a cap of 4 time the ACV or the policy limit, whichever is less. When you have a full replacement cost policy you also have the requirement to carry full replacement cost value on your policy at 100%. What this means is that if you don't have enough coverage to pay the full replacement cost, then you will be penalized on every claim whether large or small. For this reason, you only want to carry full replacement cost if you are sure that you have enough coverage to avoid the penalty.

What is replacement value under insurance?
Replacement value is the cost to replace an item that was lost in a covered claim without regard to depreciation. Often times there is a limit of 4 times the ACV (Actual Cash Value) but it usually has no effect.
If you own your home and have no mortgage against it should you be given a depreciation value on damages to your home after a hurricane even if you have cost replacement in your policy?
Generally, most insurance policies that afford "Replacement cost coverage" will only pay the depreciated value (or "actual cash value") up front until the repairs or replacement actually takes place. In the event you will not repair or replace the home where it stood, you would only be entitled to the actual cash value. Otherwise, they will pay the difference between the ACV and actual replacement cost (less your deductible) only after the repairs are complete. Most policies have a time limit on how long you have to make a claim for the replacement cost.....usually 6 months!
If your company uses the lower-of-cost-or-market rule to value its inventory and original cost is 420 and replacement cost is 365 should the 365 be used on the balance sheet?
Yes, because this is the current value of the inventory.
Will an insurance company pay out a dwelling claim if you decide not to rebuild?
Yes, but generally at Actual cash value (either market value or replacement cost minus depreciation) instead of replacement cost. However, the insurance company will generally pay to reconstruct at another location.
