The total amount the insurance company is required to pay is US$ 51,439 (46,670 for bodily injuries and 4,769 for property damages).

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What are a 50/100/50 liability, US$ 250 deductible collision and a full coverage comprehensive?

All these liability limits mean that Allen has:

1. Bodily injury up to US$ 50,000 per person and up to US$ 100,000 per accident, which covers medical costs, funeral expenses, lost income and pain and suffering of people injured by Allen.

2. Property liability up to US$ 50,000, which reimburses accident victims for the repair or replacement of belongings damaged by Allen. This covers both someone else's car or property.

3. The full-coverage comprehensive covers damage to Allen's car that is not caused by a collision. Like this was an auto accident where Allen was at fault, the damages of his own car aren't required to be paid by the insurance company.

4. The US$ 250 insurance deductible is the amount Allen have to pay when he file a claim with his insurance company.
