    • In favor of the insured

    A. In favor of the insured
    Explanation
    When there is ambiguity in an insurance contract, courts will interpret it based on the prudent person rule. This means that they will consider what a reasonable person would have understood from the contract. In such cases, the courts tend to interpret the ambiguity in favor of the insured. This means that any doubts or uncertainties will be resolved in a way that benefits the policyholder rather than the insurance company. This interpretation is done to ensure that the insured party is protected and receives the intended benefits from the insurance contract.

Insurers are allowed to differentiate premiums based on risk factors as long as it does not violate regulations regarding unfair discrimination.

    Rate this question:

    • The death benefit will be larger

    • The death benefit will be smaller

    Correct Answer
    A. The death benefit will be smaller
    Explanation
    If an insured withdraws a portion of the face amount in the form of accelerated benefits due to a terminal illness, it will affect the payable death benefit from the policy by making it smaller. This means that the amount paid out to the beneficiaries upon the insured's death will be reduced because the insured has already received a portion of the face amount while still alive.

    • At any time suicide can be proven

    • Only when there was a witness to the event

    Correct Answer
    A. When death occurs within a specified period of time after the policy was issued
    Explanation
    An insurance company may use suicide as a defense against paying a death claim when the death occurs within a specified period of time after the policy was issued. This is because many insurance policies have a suicide clause, which states that if the policyholder dies by suicide within a certain period, typically within the first two years of the policy, the insurance company may deny the death claim. This clause is put in place to prevent individuals from taking out a policy with the intention of committing suicide shortly after.

    Apparent authority is also known as "perceived authority" because it refers to a situation where a person is perceived to have authority to act on behalf of another, even if they do not actually possess such authority. This perception may arise from the actions, words, or conduct of the person in question, leading others to believe that they have the power to act on behalf of someone else.

    • Return the application to the applicant for a signature

    Correct Answer

    If an agent fails to obtain an applicant signature on the application, it is necessary to return the application to the applicant for a signature. This ensures that the applicant has the opportunity to review and provide their consent by signing the application themselves. By returning the application to the applicant, it allows for the proper completion of the application process and ensures that all necessary signatures are obtained.

    • Basic insurance rate plus commissions

    • Expense premium

    Explanation
    The gross annual premium refers to the total amount of money paid by the policyholder for an insurance policy before any deductions or expenses are taken into account. It represents the full cost of the insurance coverage without any additional fees or commissions. The net premium, on the other hand, is the amount that remains after deducting any expenses or commissions from the gross premium. Therefore, the correct answer is net premium.

    Correct Answer
    A. That it policies are covered by a state guaranty association
    Explanation
    An insurance company advertisement may not include the information that its policies are covered by a state guaranty association. This is because the inclusion of this information may mislead potential customers into thinking that their policies are fully protected by the state guaranty association, which may not always be the case. The purpose of an advertisement is to attract customers and promote the benefits of the insurance policies, so including information about limitations or exclusions, the name of a specific agent, or identifying a limited policy as such would be more relevant and informative for potential customers.

    Explanation
    "Liquidity" refers to the ability to access cash values from a life insurance policy at any time. This means that the policyholder can borrow money against the cash value of the policy whenever needed. This provides a level of flexibility and financial security, as it allows the policyholder to tap into the policy's value for various purposes such as emergencies, investments, or other financial needs.

    Rate this question:

    • Credit life

    • Increasing term

    Correct Answer
    A. Whole life
    Explanation
    Whole life insurance policies have a cash accumulation feature. A portion of the premium paid into the policy is set aside in a cash value account, which grows over time. This cash value can be accessed by the policyholder through policy loans or withdrawals. The cash accumulation feature allows the policy to build up a savings component, providing a source of funds that can be used for various purposes such as supplementing retirement income or paying for unexpected expenses. Unlike term life insurance, which only provides coverage for a specific period, whole life insurance offers both a death benefit and a cash value component.

    The application is the primary source of information used for insurance underwriting. This is because it contains all the necessary details about the applicant, including their personal information, medical history, and lifestyle habits. Insurance underwriters rely on this information to assess the risk associated with insuring the individual and determine the appropriate coverage and premium rates. While applicant interviews, medical records, and private investigations may provide additional information, the application is the initial and most comprehensive source used in the underwriting process.

    Correct Answer
    A. Creditor requiring that a debtor buys insurance from a certain insurer
    Explanation
    In credit life insurance, it is not allowed for the creditor to require that a debtor buys insurance from a certain insurer. This would limit the debtor's choice and may lead to higher premiums or unfavorable policy terms. The debtor should have the freedom to choose the insurance provider that best suits their needs and offers the most favorable terms.

    Explanation
    The limited pay whole life policy would be the right choice for this client because it offers both protection and savings. With this policy, the client will pay premiums only until retirement at age 65, after which the coverage will continue for the rest of their life. This allows the client to have the security of insurance coverage while also building up cash value over time. The policy provides a combination of lifelong protection and the ability to accumulate savings, making it a suitable option for the client's needs.

The beneficiary is typically chosen by the insured individual and is the person who will receive the insurance proceeds upon the insured's death.

    • Cost of living rider

    • Value adjustment rider

    • Return of premium rider

    Correct Answer
    A. Cost of living rider
    Explanation
    The cost of living rider is a policy rider that is designed to adjust the face value of a life insurance policy in response to changes in the cost of living. In this case, the long stretch of national economic hardship caused a 7% rate of inflation, which led to the increase in the face value of the policy by the same percentage. Therefore, it can be inferred that the cost of living rider caused this change.

    Correct Answer
    A. The full death benefit

    The correct answer is "standard risk is representative of the majority of people". This means that a standard risk classification is the typical or average risk level for people in the same age group and with similar lifestyles. It does not require extra rating, it is not the same as high exposure risk, and it does not necessarily pay a higher premium than a substandard risk.

    The premium of a survivorship life policy compared with that of a joint policy would be 

    • Half the amount

    • Lower

    • Higher

    • As high

    Correct Answer
    A. Lower
    Explanation
    The premium of a survivorship life policy is lower compared to that of a joint policy because in a survivorship policy, the death benefit is paid out only after both insured individuals pass away. This reduces the risk for the insurance company, resulting in a lower premium. In contrast, a joint policy pays out the death benefit when the first insured individual passes away, which increases the risk for the insurance company and leads to a higher premium.
