The Part Value(if percent (%) available according to that it will cover) of Fire accident to be treated as loss. Stock in Qty to be adjusted

case 3 Fully Insurance Coverage
Inventory value(Fire accident Fully insured) portion not to be adjusted with Total Inventory value due to the full portion of the insured inventory will be refunded by the insurance co. so there is no monetary loss but any way stock in qty to be adjusted 100 - 25 = 75
