An estate-planning technique often recommended for those with large, taxable estates is the use
of
A)
the alternative valuation date.
B)
a testamentary trust.
C)
an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT).
D)
the capital needs analysis. correct answers C) For those with large, taxable estates, the purchase
of life insurance to cover the potential estate tax liability is frequently recommended. The use of
the ILIT will generally keep the proceeds out of the estate. The alternative valuation date helps
only if the value of the estate drops sometime during the six months after death. A testamentary
trust does little, if anything, to reduce estate taxes. The capital needs analysis is used to
determine the replacement value needed in the event of premature death—which is unlikely to be
needed with this large of an estate.
A 46-year-old investor wants to have retirement savings worth $1 million at age 70. If the
investor can earn 9%, using the rule of 72, the present value needed today is closest to
A)
$90,000.
B)
$125,000.
C)
$250,000.
D)
$500,000. correct answers B) The rule of 72 can be used to determine how long it takes for a
specific sum to double in value. If you know the rate of return (9% in this question), you divide
72 by that rate (72 divided by 9) to learn that money will double every 8 years. A 46-year-old
looking ahead to age 70 has 24 years (70 - 46) for the money to grow. If the IRA earning 9% will
double in value every 8 years, in 24 years, it will have doubled 3 times. If a number doubles 3
times, its value is 8 times the original amount (1 doubled is 2, doubled is 4, doubled is 8): $1
million ÷ 8 = $125,000. Another way to get the answer on the exam is to start with the answer
choices and see which one when doubled 3 times reaches $1 million. If you have $125,000
presently, the first doubling takes it to $250,000, the second to $500,000, and the third to $1
million.
