When Larissa passes away, her RRSP will be fully taxable on her final income tax return, as it is considered income in the year of death unless rolled over to a qualified beneficiary, such as a spouse. Her TFSA, on the other hand, is not taxable upon death as it passes tax-free to the beneficiary or estate. The principal residence (condo) and cottage may incur capital gains tax, but they are not fully taxable as income.Therefore,Option D, the RRSP, is correct​.

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​.

Insurance premiums are typically based on risk factors such as occupation and lifestyle. Among the clients listed,Lamar, the librarian, has the lowest-risk lifestyle and occupation. Librarians are generally considered low-risk occupations for disability insurance, and his hobbies (collecting stamps and watching nature shows) carry no added risk factors. Scott’s high-risk activities (skiing and skydiving) would likely lead to higher premiums, while Lamar’s low-risk profile qualifies him for the most favorable premium, according to LLQP underwriting principles​.

Typically, when associations like the Alberta Engineering Association offer group insurance plans, these plans arevoluntary, and members are generally responsible for paying the full premium. This arrangement is common in association group plans, where membership is optional, and individuals must choose to opt in and pay their share. The LLQP materials outline that association-sponsored group plans often work this way unless otherwise specified, as there is no indication that the association shares in the premium costs​​.

Key person disability insuranceprovides financial protection to a business against the loss of a crucial employee due to disability. Antoine is a critical figure for Kiril’s gym, generating a significant portion of revenue and attracting clientele due to his public profile. This policy would compensate the gym for lost income and potentially cover additional costs incurred while attempting to replace Antoine's unique contributions. The LLQP materials discuss key person insurance as essential for protecting a business against the financial impact of losing a high-value employee, making this option the most suitable for Kiril's needs​.

Option C: Correct; $50,000 AD&D only.

Option D: Incorrect; CI not triggered.

Since Li Jun manages hypertension, a common condition that increases the risk profile, insurers frequently apply apremium rating, meaning higher premiums, due to the elevated health risk. Exclusions are less typical for well-managed chronic conditions, and refusal is unlikely for a single, manageable health issue. Given his overall good health otherwise, the insurer is likely to issue the policy with an increased premium to account for the added risk, as per the LLQP guidelines on underwriting for critical illness insurance​​.

In this scenario, Rowan, an employee of a construction company, suffers an injury while on the job. Since the injury occurred in the workplace, he would be eligible for benefits under Workers' Compensation. Workers' Compensation is designed to cover employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, providing them with benefits that include coverage for medical expenses and income replacement during their period of disability​.

As the accident happened while Rowan was performing work duties, Workers' Compensation will likely cover his wage loss for the duration he is unable to work due to the injury. Employment Insurance (EI) would not be applicable here, as EI sickness benefits are intended for non-work-related illnesses or injuries. The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) also would not apply, as it provides long-term disability benefits primarily for severe and prolonged disabilities that prevent individualsfrom working in any capacity. Therefore, option D is the correct answer, as Workers' Compensation is specifically designed for cases like Rowan’s​.
