Answer 1

ANSWER:

D. Life Insurance Proceeds, annuity = $41,500per year

Investment in Contract : Non taxable $391,000 insurance proceeds

Expected Return = $41,500 x 20 year

............................= $830,000

Recovery of Capital = (Investment in Contract / Expected Return) x Annual Proceeds

.................................= ($391,000 / $830,000) x $41,500

.................................= $19,550

Amount Taxable = Annual Proceeds - Recovery of Capital

........................... = $41,500 - $19,550

........................... = $21,950

		Amount Received	Amount Taxable
a.	Employer Payments	$25,200	$25,200
b.	Accrued salary,earned before death	$5,000	$5,000
c.	Group term life insurance proceeds	$165,000	$0
