Answers & Explanations- Free and New GMAT Practice Test Sample Question 161-170

161. D: The average daily cost may be written as 5.43+5.43+3.54+3.54+7.89/5, which equals 5.17. The average daily cost was $5.17.

162. C: When rounding the decimal to the nearest hundredths place, look to the digit that is one place to the right, or the thousandths place. Since the digit in the thousandths place is less than 5, the digit in the hundredths place will remain. Thus, the rounded number is 1230.93.

163. A: The decimals of 45.5 and 67.9 should be subtracted from the decimal, 134.7. Doing so gives a difference of 21.3.

164. B: The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from 0. The integer, -9, is 9 units from the whole number, 0. Thus, it has an absolute value of 9.

165. D: Since this list (already written in ascending order) has an even number of values, the median is the average of the two middle values. The average of 7 and 9 is 8, thus the median is 8.

166. E: Since there are 52 weeks and 4 seasons in a year and 31 days in January, the average may be written as 52+4+31/3, which equals 29.

167. C: The GPA may be written as (4.4)3+(4.3)+(2.3)+(3.2)/13, where 13 represents the sum of the weights. Thus, the GPA is approximately 3.08.

168. A: The average is equal to the ratio of the amount spent to the number of days in a week. Thus, the average may be written as 28.49/7. He spent an average of $4.07 per day.

169. B: The rate may be written as 145-32/4, which equals 28.25. Thus, the average rise in temperature per hour was 28.25°.

170. A: The tenths place is one place to the right of the decimal. Thus, 2 represent the digit in the tenths place.

ANSWERS & RATIONALES- Free insurance agent exam samples question 11-20

11. C  although life insurance proceeds are not subject to tax, the interest is. To find the tax free amount, divided $200,000 by 20 years, so $10,000 a year is tax free. Any amount received in excess of that amount is interest and is taxable as ordinary income.

12. B On annuity partial distributions, the first money out is the interest portion, which is this cased is $15,000, all of which is taxable as ordinary income. If the annuitant is under age 59 ½, a 10% IRS premature distribution penalty could also apply.

13. A Proceeds payable to a Life Insurance beneficiary are never taxable.

14. C The Doctrine of Reasonable Expectations is closely associated with the Doctrine of Adhesion. Both doctrines state that any ambiguity in the policy (which is a contract) will be construed against the insurance company, since they wrote it. Tort law is also known as injury law.

15. C Insurance is regulated by state law. All states require that insurers have a prescribed amount of liquid assets (or legal reserves) on hand to honor their future liabilities to customers, such as Life Insurance death claims or cash surrenders. Insurers must file annual, audited financial statements to prove that they meet this requirement.

16. D Insurers may be domestic, foreign or alien, depending upon where they are incorporated (domiciled). An alien insurer is domiciled in a foreign country. A foreign insurer is domiciled in another state. A domestic insurer is domiciled in this state.

17. B Risk is defined as the chance of loss. An exposure is defined as a condition that could result in a loss. Risk classification is known as underwriting. Insurance is defined as the transfer of risk. Recognizing hazards and exposures and making plans to avoid them is known as risk management. Know your definitions!

18. C A peril is a cause of loss, such as death in Life Insurance, or accident or sickness in Health Insurance.

19. B Producers selling Variable Life need a state Life Insurance license and a federal Securities license. Although the cash value is not guaranteed, the minimum death benefit is, although the death benefit may increase above the minimum. Most insurers value the separate account on a quarterly basis.

20. D Most insurers offer a Children’s Rider, which covers all of the insured’s children up to a certain age for a flat fee, regardless of how many children there are or their health. Coverage usually ends at age 18 (or 21), at which time the child may convert their coverage to an individual Whole Life policy without evidence of insurability.
