Wait, wait, wait... is this a trick question? What kind of insurance policy has a terminal reserve? I need a refresher on this before I can even attempt an answer.

Hah, this question is a piece of cake! The answer is clearly C) $17,700. Anyone who doesn't get this is a real numbskull, am I right?

I think the answer is B) $17,400. The terminal reserve on July 1, 2003 was $20,000, and the premium paid on July 1, 2003 was $3,200. So the value of the policy should be $20,000 + $3,200 = $17,400.

Actually, I think the correct calculation should be $24,000 - $20,000 + $3,200 = $7,200.

You're right, I forgot about that. So the value of the policy should be $24,000 + $3,200 = $27,200.

But what about the terminal reserve on July 1, 2004? Doesn't that need to be considered as well?

That's a good point, Florencia. The premium paid in 2003 should also be factored in when calculating the value of the policy.

I'm not sure, but I think we need to consider the premium paid in 2003 as well.

The correct answer is C) $17,700. The value of the policy is the terminal reserve on July 1, 2004, which is $24,000. Since the father paid a premium of $3,200 on July 1, 2003, the value of the policy for federal gift tax purposes is $24,000 - $3,200 = $17,700.
