Answer sheet-Free insurance agent exam samples question 21-27




21. B On an annuity, the contract owner is the party who buys the annuity and receives proceeds when the contract is annuitized. The annuitant is the party whose life the annuity contract is based. The beneficiary receives the proceeds if the annuitant dies and is often the owner of the contract as well. There is no ‘insured’ in an annuity contract.

22. C ‘Closed’ corporations often buy life insurance on their shareholders. If a shareholder dies, the proceeds are paid to the corporation who uses the money to buy out the stock of the deceased shareholder, as per the terms of a ‘buy/sell’ agreement.

23. C Adjustable Whole Life is usually sold to clients who have fluctuating incomes, such as real estate agents. The policy contains adjustment provisions that allow premiums to be increased or decreased, the face amount to be increased or decreased, and additional premiums to be paid. Whenever these adjustments occur, the plan of insurance may also change. Remember, an increase in premium increases future cash values and a decrease in premium reduces cash values. In other words, an adjustment in one area will cause an adjustment elsewhere.

24. D A MEC is a life insurance policy whose premiums exceed what would have been paid to fund a similar type of life insurance with 7 annual premiums. In other words, since MECs build cash value too fast, they are considered to be an investment rather than life insurance. Although they are not illegal, a policy classified as a MEC loses its favorable tax treatment. Cash surrenders prior to age 59 ½ may lead to both taxes and penalties and loans are taxable as well.

A ‘material’ change could also cause an existing life insurance to become a MEC, such as decreasing the death benefit during the first 7 years of the policy or increasing the premium after the initial 7 year policy period. All MECs issued by the same insurance company to the same policy owner during any 12 month period will be treated as one MEC.

25. D The Internal Revenue Code allows certain policy holders to make a tax deferred exchange of one life insurance policy for another if certain criteria are met. The laws states that: 1) an ordinary life contract may be exchanged for another life insurance contract, or for an endowment or for an annuity; 2) an endowment may be exchanged for another endowment; and 3) an annuity may be exchanged for another annuity. An annuity or endowment cannot be exchanged for ordinary life insurance.

26. B At inception date, the face amount and death benefit of a Variable Life insurance policy are the same. However, although the minimum face amount is guaranteed, the death benefit may vary above the minimum if the separate account does well.

27. C Limited-pay Whole Life (such as LP 65 or 20 PL) only require that the insured pay premiums for a limited period of time. For example, a LP 65 must be paid up by age 65 and a 20 PL must be paid up in 20 years. Straight Whole Life requires premiums to be paid until age 100, or prior death, whichever occurs first. However, both reach maturity at age 100.
