Answer: A
Rationale: Insurable interest requires that the policyowner would
suffer a financial loss upon the death of the insured. This exists
between family members, business partners, and
creditors/debtors. Insurable interest must exist at the time of
policy application, not necessarily at the time of death .

an insurance applicant is required to:
A) Pay premiums on time
B) Disclose all material facts that could affect the insurer's
decision
C) Name a beneficiary
D) Sign the policy delivery receipt
Answer: B
Rationale: Utmost good faith requires both parties to act
honestly and disclose all material information. The applicant must

reveal any facts that could influence the insurer's underwriting
decision, such as health conditions or hazardous occupations .
Q3. A material misrepresentation in an insurance application
occurs when:
A) The agent forgets to collect the first premium
B) The applicant makes a false statement that would affect the
insurer's underwriting decision
C) The beneficiary changes designation without notice
D) The policy lapses for non-payment
Answer: B
Rationale: A material misrepresentation is a false statement that
could affect the insurer's underwriting decision. Age affects
premium calculations and insurability. Minor traffic violations that
do not affect risk assessment are typically not considered
material .
