If a member desires SGLI coverage in the amount of $80,000, how do you determine the premium cost?
-
Each $10K increment costs 90 cents, therefore 8 x .90 = $7.20
-
Each $10K increment costs 80 cents, therefore 8 x .80 = $6.40
-
Each $10K increment costs 70 cents, therefore 8 x .70 = $5.60
-
Each $10K increment costs 60 cents, therefore 8 x .60 = $4.80
Correct Answer
A. Each $10K increment costs 80 cents, therefore 8 x .80 = $6.40Explanation
The premium cost for SGLI coverage is determined by multiplying the number of $10K increments by the cost per increment. In this case, each $10K increment costs 80 cents, so the premium cost for 8 increments would be 8 x .80 = $6.40.Rate this question:
