In mid-September, the stock of Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) is selling for $147.A January call option on the stock is selling for $6.10 and has a strike price of $160. This call option is:

  1. at the money.
  2. in the money.
  3. out of the money.
  4. overpriced. No one should pay $6.10 for the right to buy a share of stock for $160 when its current market price is only $147.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

If Amazon.com is selling for $147 and the strike price on the option is $160, the call option is said to be out of the money since, even if an investor were given the option free, he would not benefit from exercising it at this time. If he did so, he would be paying $160 for a stock that is selling for only $147 on the open market. Even so, the option is not necessarily overpriced at $6.10 because the option has what is known as "time value" on it. The stock of Amazon.com has several months during which it could rise well above the $160 strike price on the option.



Which of the following payout options would provide an annuity owner with the biggest monthly check?

  1. joint and last survivor
  2. straight life
  3. life with period certain
  4. unit refund life

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The straight life payout option would provide an annuity owner with the biggest monthly check. Under this option, the annuity payments stop upon the death of the owner. All of the other options would require that the insurance company stand ready to continue payments beyond the owner's death.
This means more risk to the insurance company and, ergo, lower payments to the owner.



Mr. Fast Lane met an early death at the age of 42. Mr. Lane had been making contributions to a variable annuity contract for several years, and at the time of his death, his contributions totaled $25,000. Although the value of the contract had at one time reached $40,000, earnings included, a downturn in the market has resulted in a contract value of only $23,000.
How much will Mr. Lane's beneficiaries receive as the death benefit associated with this contract under these circumstances?

  1. nothing, since the contract now has a value that is less than Mr. Lane's total contributions
  2. the average of what its value once was and what it is today: $31,500
  3. $25,000
  4. $23,000

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Since Mr. Lane died while he was still making contributions, his beneficiaries will receive $25,000. If the annuitant dies during the accumulation period, the death benefit is equal to the value of the contract or the total of the contributions, whichever is greater.
