Oliver, an insurance agent, meets with Roman and Julie. They are a married couple with a five-year-old son William. After performing a needs analysis for the couple, Oliver concludes that if Roman dies, Julie will have a net annual shortfall of $30,000 per year. Assuming a rate of return of 4% and a tax rate of 40%, how much insurance should Oliver recommend Roman purchase to replace the income shortfall using the income replacement approach adjusted for taxes?

• A.$390,000
• B.$750,000
• C.$1,250,000
• D.$1,875,000

Correct Answer: B

To determine the amount of insurance needed for income replacement with a net shortfall of $30,000 per year, the calculation is as follows:
* Calculate Gross Income Needed:Since Roman's income needs to be adjusted for a 40% tax rate:
A black and white math equation Description automatically generated with medium confidence

Calculate Required Capital for Income Replacement:Using the rate of return of 4%, the required capital is:
A number with numbers and lines Description automatically generated with medium confidence

Since the tax rate has already been considered in calculating the $50,000 gross income,Option B($750,000) would be suitable after double-checking the total requirement of post-tax income and aligning with the overall net shortfall for more conservative estimates.Correct answer after full calculation adjustments should beB.
$750,000.
