Joetta Hernandez is a single parent with two children and earns $58,700 a year. Her employer's group life insurance policy would pay 2.5 times her salary. She also has $78,267 saved in a 401(k) plan, 56,522 in mutual funds, and a $3,913 certificate of deposit. She wants to purchase term life insurance for 15 years, until her youngest child is self-supporting. She is not concerned about her outstanding mortgage, as the children would live with her sister in the event of Joetta's death. Assuming she can receive a 4 percent after-tax, after-inflation return on insurance proceeds, use the earnings multiple method to calculate her insurance need.
