interest incurs interest, and the death benefit is reduced dollar-for-
dollar by the amount of the unpaid loan (plus accrued interest).//The
loan incurs interest charges at the same rate as the loan. In addition,
the death benefit is reduced by the loan amount at the insured's death.
As the insured continues to pay premiums for a whole life policy, what
happens to the insurer's net amount at risk in that policy? - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > It decreases.//Because the policy's cash value
constantly increases as the insured pays premiums, the net amount at

amount of the new policy cannot exceed the amount of the term
policy.//When a policyowner converts a term life insurance policy to a

,What is insurable interest? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Insurable
interest is the relationship between the person applying for life
insurance and the person whose life is to be insured. It is a necessary
element in the issuing of a life insurance contract.//Insurable interest
represents the financial impact that would be incurred by the loss of
the insured person or property. Without it, an insurance policy is a
speculative investment and speculative risks are not insurable.
A policyowner repeatedly declines the opportunity to increase her
disability income policy benefits through its benefit increase rider. She
suffers a loss that would have been covered under the rider. May she
sue the insurance company to increase the policy benefit? - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > No, because the policyowner waived her right to
exercise the rider benefit when the opportunity to do so was available
to her.//By waiving her right to increase policy benefits when the
opportunity to do so was present, the insured is estopped from
exercising the right later on.

deposit. Ten years later, the contract has grown to $67,000, and Micki
decides to withdraw $16,000 from the annuity. How much, if any, of
the withdrawal is subject to income tax? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer >
$16,000//Annuity withdrawals are now treated on a last-in/first-out
(LIFO) basis: that which is last put into the contract is deemed first to be
withdrawn. Therefore, the full amount of Micki's withdrawal will be
subject to tax because it is deemed to be a withdrawal of interest
earnings.
All of the following are standard permanent exclusions found in life
insurance policies EXCEPT: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > suicide//A risk
that is excluded from coverage means that it is not covered and that
the policy's benefit will not be paid if death results from that risk. A
suicide clause only restricts coverage until after a certain amount of
time has passed, typically two years, and then death by suicide is
covered.
All the following are examples of a survivor's immediate cash needs
upon an insured's death EXCEPT: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > utilities
and clothing//While utilities, food, clothing, and other ongoing
expenses must be addressed through planning, they do not represent
an immediate cash need at the insured's death.
