Question

Christian and Monica are married and are both in good health with reasonably secure careers. Christian and Monica have annual incomes of $60,000 each. The family debts are a home mortgage of $120,000, car loans of $10,000, personal debts of $14,000, and credit card loans of $7,500. The estimated funeral cost is $6,000. Under the DINK Method, what is the amount of total insurance that Christian would need?

Answer 1

$81,750

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount of total insurance is shown below:

= (Home mortgage loan + car loans + personal debts + credit card loans) ÷ 2 + estimated funeral cost

= ($120,000 + $10,000 + $14,000 + $7,500) ÷ 2 + $6,000

= $75,750 + $6,000

= $81,750

Under the DINK method, we simply half of the items except funeral cost
