100%
Steve's pre-tax annual income is $90,000 and he has a 48.5% marginal tax-rate. He made CPP
contributions seven years ago and eight years ago. He did not make any contributions six years ago
or five years ago because he was attending college full-time. He has made CPP contributions in each
of the last four years.
Steve currently has individual disability income insurance with the Limbs Assurance Company and
pays the premium himself from after-tax income. He did not join his employer's group plan because
he felt it did not provide adequate coverage. Steve's disability contract is guaranteed renewable. It
specifies a monthly benefit for total disability of $4,500 and provides coverage for partial disability.
He finds the monthly premiums on his contrict very high and is considering purchasing less
expensive coverage with another company. The contract he is considering purchasing from Head On
Assurance is renewable.
Steve also has a participating whole life insurance policy, which he purchased in 2016 with a death
benefit of $100,000. To date, he has paid $22,000 in premiums and received $5,000 in dividends.
The accumulated net cost of pure insurance since he purchased the policy is $7,000. The cash
surrender value is $25,000. He wants to cancel the policy in favour of purchasing a term insurance
policy for $200,000.
When Kathryn's father died, she received a $150,000 death benefit from his life insurance. She
purchased a variable annuity, which will generate an income for the next 15 years based upon the
performance of a segregated fund. For the first year of the annuity contract, the insurance company
anticipated a rate of interest of 6% compounded monthly with payments made at the start of each
month.
Steve is concerned that Mile High does not adhere to safety regulations, which puts workers in
jeopardy. Just last week, a beam that he was moving into position with his crane fell to the ground,
narrowly missing two workers. An investigation revealed that the beam had been incorrectly loaded.
In response to orders from management to cut the cost of wages, the foreman had assigned the
task of loading the beam to an inexperienced apprentice without the supervision of a more
experienced worker.
If Steve were too badly injured to work as a mobile crane operator, he assumes that he can work in
the office of his father's company earning $4,000 in pre-tax income per month after he is injured.
How much would he receive for residual disability in after-tax benefits each month from his
disability income insurance contract?
a) $0
b) $2,100
c) $500
d) $3,150
