The insurance company subtracts from this an administrative fee along with the cost of the death benefit (the portion of the policy) then puts the remainder into the cash value for portion of the policy. This money earns interest at a rate of return. Based on the given information, calculate the amount that is added to the cash value portion of the policy in each of the first three years. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 $2,604 $1,678 $85 $85 Premium (annual contribution) Administrative fee Cost of death benefit Amount added to cash value $2,067 $85 $90 $90 $90 The cost of the death benefit portion of universal policies is only fixed for certain periods and rises with age, as is the case with life Insurance policies.

At the same time, she is helping to pay her mother's medical expenses after a major surgery and currently cannot afford to pay her life insurance premium True or False: Under the terms of a standard universal policy, if Teresa stops paying her premiums, then her policy will be cancelled and the value of the cash portion will be paid out to her immediately.
