When are accumulation units within a variable annuity converted into annuity units?
A) At the end of the 14-day free look period
B) Every year on the policy anniversary
C) At the time of annuity payout (annuitization)
D) When the contract owner reaches age 59 ½
E) Whenever the market value increases by 10%
Correct Answer: C) At the time of annuity payout (annuitization)
Rationale: During the accumulation phase, a variable annuity owner holds accumulation
units. When the owner decides to begin receiving income (annuitization), these
accumulation units are converted into a fixed number of annuity units, which determine
the amount of each payment based on current market value.

categorized as:
A) Contributory
B) Noncontributory
C) Participatory
D) Universal
E) Indemnity-based
Correct Answer: B) Noncontributory
Rationale: In a noncontributory plan, the employer pays 100% of the premium and the
employees contribute nothing. Under Florida law, noncontributory plans must generally
cover 100% of the eligible employees in the group.

begin in the 6th month. If a worker recovers and is disabled again within five years, the
waiting period is typically waived.

the:
A) Scope of coverage
B) Promise to pay
C) Conditions for payment
D) Name of the beneficiary

While it identifies the parties and the scope of the risk, the specific name of the beneficiary
is found in the application and the policy summary/declarations, not the clause itself.

B) A stock company turns into a mutual company.

dividends.

expenses for the year. This is known as the:
