a. Do a comprehensive calculation of Human Life Value and identify the exact amount of

the Insurance Cover to be given. (5 Marks)

b. As per your understanding what all Insurance Products would you like to suggest them

as a complete financial protection for the family.

Answer 1

Human Life Value

Net Income = $5+1.5=6.50$

Present Value of the Net income: Rs 6.50

The amount of insurance coverage that should be given is 80% of 6.50 which is Rs 5.20

They should take Long-Term Care Insurance since its coverage provides nursing-home care, home health care, and personal or adult day care for individuals age 65 or older or with a chronic or disabling condition that needs constant supervision. They should also take life insurance, car insurance and home insurance that they are about to buy.
