17. Arthur, Murray, and Strauss are equal owners of the AMS company, which in their most recent "value setting meeting" they agreed had a net value of $660,000.

Each owner must have a policy equal to the amount necessary to pay 150% of the owner's potential obligation using the most recent value setting.
