SECTION 1: LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES AND PROVISIONS Q1 – Q10
══════════════════════════════════════
Question 1 of 50
A 42-year-old married father of two is shopping for life insurance to protect his family if
he dies prematurely. He wants coverage that will last until his children finish college in
20 years, but he also wants the option to convert to permanent coverage later without
proving insurability.
A. Purchase a 20-year level term policy with a convertible provision
B. Buy a whole life policy and fund it aggressively for the first 5 years
C. Take out a 10-year renewable term policy and reapply at age 52
D. Select a single premium immediate annuity to provide income replacement
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A level term policy provides guaranteed premiums and death benefit for the
20-year period needed, and the convertible provision allows transition to permanent
,coverage without medical underwriting. Whole life requires higher premiums than
necessary for temporary protection, and reapplying at age 52 risks insurability issues
and higher rates. An annuity provides income, not death benefit protection, and does not
address the client's stated need.
Question 2 of 50
A 55-year-old business owner wants to leave $500,000 to each of his two children, but
his estate is currently valued at $1.2 million and he expects significant growth over the
next decade. He is concerned about estate taxes and probate delays.
A. Name his children as beneficiaries on his existing term life policy
B. Establish an irrevocable life insurance trust and fund it with a second-to-die whole life
policy
C. Purchase a variable universal life policy and name the estate as beneficiary
D. Gift the children $500,000 each now and reduce his estate below the threshold
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An irrevocable life insurance trust removes the policy proceeds from the
taxable estate and provides liquidity to pay estate taxes without probate delay; a
second-to-die policy is cost-effective for estate planning since the death benefit is only
needed after both spouses pass. Naming children directly on a term policy does not
address estate tax issues, and naming the estate as beneficiary subjects proceeds to
probate and creditors. Gifting now may trigger gift tax and does not leverage insurance
for estate liquidity.
Question 3 of 50
A 35-year-old single professional has been offered a $1 million 30-year term policy with
a $45 monthly premium, or a $1 million whole life policy with a $280 monthly premium.
She has no dependents currently but plans to marry in two years.
,A. Select the term policy and invest the $235 monthly difference in a diversified portfolio
B. Purchase the whole life policy to lock in insurability and build cash value
C. Buy the term policy and add a return-of-premium rider for an additional $25 per
month
D. Decline both options and wait until after marriage to purchase coverage
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: For a young single professional with no current dependents, term insurance
provides necessary protection at a fraction of the cost, and the premium savings can be
invested for potentially higher returns than whole life cash value growth. Whole life is
premature and expensive when there is no immediate estate or income replacement
need. Return-of-premium riders are costly and the extra premium could be better
invested, and waiting to purchase risks health changes that could affect insurability.
Question 4 of 50
A policyowner has held a $250,000 whole life policy for 15 years and has accumulated
$28,000 in cash value. He needs $15,000 for a home renovation and is considering his
options.
A. Surrender the policy, receive the full $28,000 cash value, and purchase a new term
policy
B. Take a policy loan for $15,000 at the contract loan rate and repay it on his own
schedule
C. Withdraw $15,000 from the cash value, which will reduce the death benefit by
$15,000
D. Use the automatic premium loan provision to borrow against the cash value for
premiums
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A policy loan allows the owner to access funds without surrendering the
contract or permanently reducing the death benefit, and the loan can be repaid flexibly;
unpaid loans reduce the death benefit only at death, not immediately. Surrendering the
policy terminates coverage and may trigger taxable gain. A withdrawal permanently
, reduces the death benefit by the amount withdrawn, and the automatic premium loan
provision is for paying overdue premiums, not discretionary borrowing.
Question 5 of 50
A 48-year-old woman is reviewing her late husband's life insurance policy, which she
owns as the beneficiary. She discovers the policy has a settlement option she did not
previously notice, and she is deciding how to receive the $400,000 death benefit.
A. Select the interest-only option to receive monthly interest payments and preserve the
principal for her children
B. Take the lump sum and deposit it in a high-yield savings account for liquidity
C. Choose the life income option to receive guaranteed payments for her lifetime
D. Elect the fixed-period option to spread payments over 20 years with interest
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The life income option provides the highest monthly payment for a
beneficiary who needs guaranteed lifetime income, which is often the primary need of a
surviving spouse. Interest-only preserves principal but provides minimal income, and a
savings account offers no mortality guarantee and lower returns. The fixed-period
option risks outliving the payments if she lives beyond 20 years, which is a significant
concern at age 48.
Question 6 of 50
A 60-year-old man owns a $500,000 universal life policy with a current cash value of
$85,000. He has not paid premiums for three years because the policy has been in
automatic premium loan status. He receives a notice that the policy will lapse in 90
days unless action is taken.
A. Pay the outstanding loan balance plus accrued interest to restore the policy to good
standing
