- A.
The period of coverage
- B.
The face amount
- C.
The premium payments
- D.

B. The face amountExplanation
The word "level" in Level Term describes the face amount. In a level term life insurance policy, the face amount remains constant throughout the entire term of the policy. This means that the death benefit paid out to the beneficiaries will not decrease over time. It provides a consistent and predictable payout, which can be beneficial for individuals who want to ensure a certain amount of financial protection for their loved ones.Rate this question:

The least expensive option to pay off a 30-year mortgage balance would be
- A.
Convertible term life
- B.
Decreasing term life
- C.
Adjustable term life
- D.
Increasing term life
Correct Answer
B. Decreasing term lifeExplanation
A decreasing term life insurance policy would be the least expensive option to pay off a 30-year mortgage balance. This type of policy provides coverage that decreases over time, which aligns with the decreasing balance of a mortgage. As the mortgage balance decreases, the amount of coverage needed also decreases, resulting in lower premiums compared to other types of life insurance policies. This makes it a cost-effective option for ensuring that the mortgage is paid off in the event of the policyholder's death.Rate this question:

A life insurance policy that is subject to a contract interest rate is referred to as
- A.
Adjustable life
- B.
Group life
- C.
Term life
- D.
Universal life
Correct Answer
D. Universal lifeExplanation
Universal life insurance policies are subject to a contract interest rate. This means that the cash value of the policy can earn interest based on the performance of the underlying investments. The policyholder has the flexibility to adjust the premium payments and death benefit as needed. Universal life insurance provides a combination of a death benefit and a savings component, allowing the policyholder to accumulate cash value over time. The contract interest rate determines the growth of the cash value, making it a key feature of universal life insurance policies.Rate this question:

A securities license is required for a life insurance producer to sell
- A.
Modified life insurance
- B.
Modified Endowment Contracts (MEC)
- C.
Variable life insurance
- D.
Universal life insurance
Correct Answer
C. Variable life insuranceExplanation
A securities license is required for a life insurance producer to sell variable life insurance because variable life insurance policies allow the policyholder to invest a portion of the premium payments into various investment options, such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. This means that the policy's value can fluctuate based on the performance of these investments. Since variable life insurance involves an investment component, it falls under the jurisdiction of securities regulations, hence the need for a securities license to sell it.Rate this question:

Donald is the primary insured of a life insurance policy and adds a children's term rider. What is the advantage of adding this rider?
- A.
Can't be converted to permanent coverage without evidence of insurability
- B.
Coverage can be different for each child
- C.
Premiums on this rider are not required until the limiting age is reached
- D.
Increase the policy's overall cash value
Correct Answer
A. Can't be converted to permanent coverage without evidence of insurabilityExplanation
Adding a children's term rider to a life insurance policy means that the coverage for the children cannot be converted to permanent coverage without providing evidence of insurability. This means that if the children want to continue the coverage beyond the term period, they will need to go through the underwriting process and prove that they are insurable. This can be advantageous for the primary insured as it provides flexibility and control over the policy, ensuring that the coverage for the children is not automatically converted without their consent or without meeting certain criteria.Rate this question:

Rob purchased a standard whole life policy with a $500,000 death benefit when he was age 30. His insurance agent told him the policy would be paid up if he reached age 100. The present cash value of the policy equals $250,000. Rob recently died at age 60. The death benefit would be
- A.
$250,000
- B.
$750,000
- C.
$375,000
- D.
$500,000
Correct Answer
D. $500,000Explanation
The death benefit would be $500,000. This is because Rob purchased a standard whole life policy with a $500,000 death benefit, which means that upon his death, his beneficiaries will receive the full amount of the death benefit stated in the policy, regardless of the cash value of the policy at the time of his death. The fact that the policy would be paid up if he reached age 100 is irrelevant to the death benefit amount.Rate this question:

Level premium permanent insurance accumulates a reserve that will eventually
- A.
Equal the face amount of the policy
- B.
Pay a dividend to the policyowner
- C.
Require the policyowner to make periodic withdrawals
- D.
Become larger than the face amount
Correct Answer
A. Equal the face amount of the policyExplanation
Level premium permanent insurance is a type of insurance where the premiums paid by the policyholder remain the same throughout the life of the policy. Over time, these premiums accumulate and create a reserve within the policy. This reserve will continue to grow until it eventually equals the face amount of the policy. In other words, the reserve will reach a point where it is equal to the death benefit that will be paid out to the policyholder's beneficiaries upon their death. Therefore, the correct answer is that the reserve will equal the face amount of the policy.Rate this question:

What is the automatic continuance of insurance coverage referred to as?
- A.
Renewal
- B.

- C.
Resumption
- D.
Renovation
Correct Answer
A. RenewalExplanation
The automatic continuance of insurance coverage is referred to as "renewal." This means that the insurance policy is extended for another term without the policyholder having to take any action. Renewal ensures that the policy remains in force and provides continuous coverage. Reinstatement, resumption, and renovation do not accurately describe the automatic continuance of insurance coverage.Rate this question:

- A.
Adjustable life insurance
- B.

The coverage amount decreases over time, aligning with the decreasing mortgage balance. This type of insurance provides financial protection to ensure that the mortgage is paid off in the event of the insured person's death, relieving the burden on their family or beneficiaries.Rate this question:

If the insured individual passes away during the term of the policy, the death benefit is paid out to the designated beneficiaries.

Universal life insurance offers flexibility in premium payments and death benefits, making it suitable for key employee identification.Rate this question:

- C.

Correct Answer
C. Seeks temporary protection and lower premiumsExplanation
Term insurance is appropriate for someone who seeks temporary protection and lower premiums. Term insurance provides coverage for a specific period, such as 10 or 20 years, and does not build cash value. It is designed to provide financial protection to the policyholder's beneficiaries in case of their untimely death during the term of the policy. Since it does not accumulate cash value, the premiums for term insurance are generally lower compared to permanent insurance policies. This makes it a suitable choice for individuals who want affordable coverage for a specific period of time.Rate this question:

D. Certificate of AuthorityExplanation
A certificate of authority is not part of an insurance contract.

It is not a contractual document that outlines the terms and conditions of the insurance agreement between the insurer and the insured.
