If an individual wants to purchase $500,000 in whole life insurance but is only able to purchase $300,000, what option do they have to increase the value up to $500,000 of death insurance?
  1. Purchase a limited payment policy to cover the extra $200,000
  2. Wait until they can afford the full amount of the $500,000 policy
  3. Increase the deductible to lower the premium amounts
  4. Purchase term insurance for the remaining $200,000
Explanation
Answer: D - If an individual wants to purchase $500,000 in whole life insurance but is only able to purchase $300,000, they can purchase a term policy for the remaining $200,000. This will allow for the full $500,000 in death insurance should the insured die. Once policy dividends are declared, they can be used to purchase additional paid-up insurance adding to the whole life policy and deducting it from the term policy, while maintaining the face value of the policy.
