I believe the time on the engine is taken into consideration for the payout.
These days, it could take a very long time to get a prop or engine back. One might be able to save it and need minimal other work done locally. It does look like the prop may have struck the ground anyways. Perhaps it needs to be very close to horizontal to avoid damage.
I wonder if a prop strike like that with the prop is stopped requires an engine overhaul.
