Based on the data in Exhibits 1 and 2 and using the human life value method for determining life insurance needs, the additional amount of life insurance that Bradley should purchase is closest to:
选项:
A.$1,701,345.
$1,547,862.
$1,951,345.
解释:
The additional
amount of life insurance Bradley should purchase using the human life value
method is calculated as follows. The calculations assume (1) Bradley works for
exactly 15 years and (2) his family needs the proceeds of the life insurance
immediately upon his death.
1 Calculate the
pretax income needed to be replaced
2 Adjust the
discount rate to account for the projected growth rate of earnings and expenses
Discount rate: 4%
Projected annual
salary and expense increase for Bradley: 3%
Calculate the
adjusted rate (i):
i = [(1 +
Discount rate)/(1 + Growth rate)] – 1= [(1 + 0.04)/(1 + 0.03)] –
1= (1.04/1.03) – 1= 1.0097 – 1= 0.0097 = 0.97%
3 Determine the
total amount of life insurance needed by calculating the present value of an
annuity due in advance
$139,063 ×
PVAADV(15 years, 0.97%) = $1,951,345
[Inputs on
financial calculator (HP-12C):
Mode: BEG; n: 15;
i: 0.97; PMT: 139,063; FV: 0; calc PV]
