Sample Questions

Question 1 Easy
Which of the following is NOT a type of long-term health insurance?
Solution
C is correct.

Personal auto liability is a short-term P&C coverage, not long-term health insurance.

The answer is personal auto liability.
Question 2 Medium
A creditor has loaned $200,000 to a business. To protect against the debtor's death, the creditor purchases a life insurance policy on the debtor with a face amount of $300,000.

Which of the following statements is most accurate?
Solution
E is correct.

In practice, the rules regarding the extent of a creditor's insurable interest vary by jurisdiction. However, the general principle is:

**A creditor has insurable interest in a debtor's life.** While some jurisdictions may limit the insurable interest to the amount of the debt, many jurisdictions allow a policy with a face amount exceeding the debt, recognizing that:
- The debt may grow with interest
- There are costs of collection and replacement financing
- Life insurance is not treated as an indemnity contract (unlike property insurance)

For exam purposes, the standard teaching is that **life insurance policies are generally valid for the full face amount** once insurable interest exists at inception, even if the face amount exceeds the financial interest.
Question 3 Hard
A whole life policy with face amount 200,000 is issued to (40). It includes a double indemnity rider paying an additional 200,000 on accidental death before age 65. You are given:

A40=0.16132A_{40} = 0.16132, A40:25โˆฃโ€พ1(acc)=0.00480A^{1\text{(acc)}}_{40:\overline{25|}} = 0.00480, aยจ40=17.577\ddot{a}_{40} = 17.577

Calculate the level annual net premium for the combined coverage.
Solution
E is correct.

APV of total benefits:
1. Base whole life: 200,000ร—0.16132=32,264200{,}000 \times 0.16132 = 32{,}264
2. Double indemnity rider: 200,000ร—0.00480=960200{,}000 \times 0.00480 = 960

Total APV: 32,264+960=33,22432{,}264 + 960 = 33{,}224

Level annual net premium:
P=33,22417.577=1,889.7โ‰ˆ1,890P = \frac{33{,}224}{17.577} = 1{,}889.7 \approx 1{,}890

The answer is 1,890.
