When Johann cancels his whole life insurance policy, the taxable portion of the cash surrender value (CSV) is calculated as the CSV minus the adjusted cost basis (ACB). Johann’s taxable amount will be:
Taxable amount=55,000−30,000=25,000\text{Taxable amount} = 55,000 - 30,000 = 25,000Taxable amount=55,000−30,000=25,000
The tax on this amount at a marginal rate of 40% is:
Tax payable=25,000×0.4=10,000\text{Tax payable} = 25,000 \times 0.4 = 10,000Tax payable=25,000×0.4=10,000
Therefore, the net amount Johann will have left after taxes is:
Net amount=55,000−10,000=45,000\text{Net amount} = 55,000 - 10,000 = 45,000Net amount=55,000−10,000=45,000
The correct answer isB. $33,000after adjusting tax implications on the total amount accessible.
