Hold on, is this some kind of life insurance policy math riddle? I thought I signed up for a certification exam, not a puzzle game. Where's the 'none of the above' option when you need it?

I'm just going to go with C) $5,900. It's the most expensive option, and hey, maybe the question is trying to trick us. I'm feeling lucky!

This is a tricky one. The terminal reserve on July 1, 2004 is $6,000, which suggests that the value of the policy has increased since the previous year. But I'm not sure if that's the correct way to calculate the gift tax value. Hmm, let me think about this...

Wait, wait, wait. If the policy was issued on July 1, 1992 and the father gave it to his daughter on January 1, 2004, doesn't that mean the policy has been in effect for over 12 years? Shouldn't the value be the full $50,000 face value?

I'm not sure, but I think the value of the policy for federal gift tax purposes is calculated based on the terminal reserve.

I agree with Moira, the terminal reserve on July 1, 2004 is $6,000.

Hmm, the premium paid on July 1, 2003 was $800, and the terminal reserve on July 1, 2003 was $5,000. So the value of the policy should be the difference between these two, which is $5,800. That's got to be the correct answer, right?
