Option C is the correct answer in respect of person C.
Calculation of tax free portion
1.For person A,
A's age is 65, hence his life expectancy as per life expectancy chart is 20.2
Therefore expected return = 2000*(20.2*12)=484800
Hence, the exclusion % =91000*100/484800=18.77%
Tax Free portion = 2000*18.77%= $375.41 of each payment is tax free.
That is why this option is selected as incorrect as tax free payment is $ 375.41 not $ 479.75.
2. For Person B,
B's age is 75, hence his life expectancy as per life expectancy chart is 13.4
Therefore expected return = 1400*(13.4*12)=225120
Hence, the exclusion % =89000*100/225120=39.53%
Tax Free portion = 1400*39.53%= $553.42 of each payment is tax free.
That is why this option is selected as incorrect as tax free payment is $ 553.42 not $ 255.
3.For Person C,
B's age is 68, but he has taken policy for 12 years
Therefore expected return = 1000*(12*12)= 144000
Hence, the exclusion % =49000*100/144000=34.03%
Tax Free portion = 1000*34.03%= $340.28 of each payment is tax free.
That is why this option is selected as correct as tax free payment is $ 340.28.
