1Opinion of the CourtWinchester, J.
11 The United States District Court for the Western District of the State of Oklahoma has certified the following question: "In determining actual cash value, using the replacement costs less depreciation method, may labor costs be depreciated?" We answer that a roof is a single product consisting of both materials and labor, and that pursuant to the "broad evidence rule," which allows a fact-finder to consider the age and condition of the roof, depreciation of the whole product is appropriate. Because labor is a part of the whole product, it is included in the depreciation of the roof.
