omework Financial planning case 12-6 A Married couple with Children Address Their Life Insurance Needs Joseph and Marcia Michael of Athens, Georgia, are a married couple in their mid-30s. They have two children, ages 5 and 3, and Marcia is pregnant with their third child. Marcia is a part-time book indexer who earned $27,000 after taxes last year. Because she performs much of her work at home, it is unlikely that she will need to curtail her work after the baby is born. Joseph is a marriage counselor; he earned $72,000 last year after taxes. Because both are self-employed, Marcia and Joseph do not have access to group life insurance. They are each covered by $60,000 universal life policies they purchased three years ago. In addition, Joseph is covered by a $60,000, five-year guaranteed renewable term policy, which will expire next year. The Michaels are currently reassessing their life insurance program. As a preliminary step in their analysis, they have determined that Marcia's three survivors would qualify for Social Security survivor's benefits of about $1,800 per month, or an annual benefit of $21,600, if she were to die. For Joseph's survivors, the figure would be $2,800 per month, or an annual benefit of $33,600. Both agree that they would like to support each of their children to age 22, but to date, they have been unable to start a college savings fund. The couple estimates that it would cost $300,000 to put all three children through a regional university in their state as measured in today's dollars. They expect that burial expenses for each spouse would total about $12,000, and they would like to have a lump sum of $50,000 to help the surviving spouse make payments on their home mortgage. They also feel that each spouse would want to take a three-month leave from work if the other were to die. Assume that 25% of income is used for personal needs. a. Calculate the amount of life insurance that Marcia needs based on the information given. Use the Run the Numbers worksheet or the Garman/Forgue companion website. Assume a 3 percent rate of return after taxes and inflation and an income need for 22 years because the unborn child will need financial support for that many years. Round Present Value of a series of Equal Amounts in intermediate calculations to four decimal places. (Use Appendix A-4.) Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ b.

Round Present Value of a Series of Equal Amounts in intermediate calculations to four decimal places. (Use Appendix A-4.) Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ Chaal The Needs-Based Approach to Life Insurance This worksheet provides a mechanism for estimating life insurance needs using the needs-based approach. The amounts needed for final expenses, income replacement, readjustment needs, debt repayment, college expenses, and other special needs are calculated and then reduced by funds available from government benefits and any current insurance or assets that could cover the need. This worksheet is also available on the Garman/Forgue companion website. Example Your Figures $12,000 $ +823,217 + +19,000 Factors Affecting Need 1. Final-expense needs Includes funeral, burial, travel, and other items of expense just prior to and after death 2. Income-replacement needs Multiply 75 percent of annual income* by the interest factor from Appendix A-4 that corresponds to the number of years that the income is to be replaced and the assumed after-tax, after-inflation rate of return. ($42,000 X 19.6004 for 30 years at a 3% rate of return) 3. Readjustment-period needs To cover employment interruptions and possible education expenses for surviving spouse and dependents 4. Debt-repayment needs Provides repayment of short-term and installment debt, including credit cards and personal loans 5. College-expense needs To provide a fund to help meet college expenses of dependents 6. Other special needs 7. Subtotal (combined effects of items 1-6) 8. Government benefits Present value of Social Security survivor's benefits and other benefits. Multiply monthly benefit estimate by 12 and use Appendix A-4 for the number of years that benefits will received and the same interest rate that was used in item 2. ($2,725 x 12 x 11.9379 for 15 years of benefits and a 3% rate of return) Current insurance assets Life insurance needed +10,000 + +75,000 +0 +$939,217 + + -390,369 -100,000 $448,848 $ 9. 10. *Seventy-five percent is used because about 25 percent of income is used for personal needs.

married couple in their mid-30s. They have two children, ages 5 and 3, and Marcia is pregnant with their third child. Marcia is a part-time book indexer who earned $27,000 after taxes last year. Because she performs much of her work at home, it is unlikely that she will need to curtail her work after the baby is born. Joseph is a marriage counselor; he earned $72,000 last year after taxes. Because both are self-employed, Marcia and Joseph do not have access to group life insurance. They are each covered by $60,000 universal life policies they purchased three years ago. In addition, Joseph is covered by a $60,000, five-year guaranteed renewable term policy, which will expire next year. The Michaels are currently reassessing their life insurance program. As a preliminary step in their analysis, they have determined that Marcia's three survivors would qualify for Social Security survivor's benefits of about $1,800 per month, or an annual benefit of $21,600, if she were to die. For Joseph's survivors, the figure would be $2,800 per month, or an annual benefit of $33,600. Both agree that they would like to support each of their children to age 22, but to date, they have been unable to start a college savings fund. The couple estimates that it would cost $300,000 to put all three children through a regional university in their state as measured in today's dollars. They expect that burial expenses for each spouse would total about $12,000, and they would like to have a lump sum of $50,000 to help the surviving spouse make payments on their home mortgage. They also feel that each spouse would want to take a three-month leave from work if the other were to die. Assume that 25% of income is used for personal needs. a. Calculate the amount of life insurance that Marcia needs based on the information given. Use the Run the Numbers worksheet or the Garman/Forgue companion website. Assume a 3 percent rate of return after taxes and inflation and an income need for 22 years because the unborn child will need financial support for that many years, Round Present Value of a series of Equal Amounts in intermediate calculations to four decimal places. (Use Appendix A-4.) Round your answer to the nearest dollar. $ b. Calculate the amount of life insurance that Joseph needs based on the information given. Use the Run the Numbers worksheet or the Garman/Forgue companion website. Assume a 3 percent rate of return after taxes and inflation and an income need for 22 years because the unborn child will need financial support for that many years.
