Life Insurance Recommendations For Home Loan Takers
Question
Michelle and Ken Dunn, both in their mid-20s, have been married for 4 years and have two preschool-age children. Ken has an accounting degree and is employed as a cost accountant at an annual salary of $62,000. They’re now renting a duplex but wish to buy a home in the suburbs of their rapidly developing city. They’ve decided they can afford a $215,000 house and hope to find one with the features they desire in a good neighborhood.
The insurance costs on such a home are expected to be $800 per year, taxes are expected to be $2,500 per year, and annual utility bills are estimated at $1,440—an increase of $500 over those they pay in the duplex. The Dunns are considering financing their home with a fixed-rate, 30-year, 6% mortgage. The lender charges 2 points on mortgages with 20% down and 3 points if less than 20% is put down (the commercial bank the Dunns will deal with requires a minimum of 10% down).
Other closing costs are estimated at 5% of the home’s purchase price. Because of their excellent credit record, the bank will probably be willing to let the Dunns’ monthly mortgage payments (principal and interest portions) equal as much as 28% of their monthly gross income. Since getting married, the Dunns have been saving for the purchase of a home and now have $44,000 in their savings account.
Considering the Dunns do not have any life insurance, what amounts and type(s) would you recommend for the couple?
Summary
The question belongs to Finance and it discusses about a scenario where a couple wants to buy a house with loan from bank. The solution discusses about the type of life insurance and amounts that can be recommended for Dunns couple.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was badly stuck with my tax credit assignment solution when I came across HwA. I was happily surprised to see that this website has taxation experts from New Zealand itself and that uplifted my confidence in this. The assignments all got good feedback and now as I am pursuing my PhD also, I seek constant help from them.

1. I was really interested in financial statement analysis but definitely stumbled on the calculations needed for ratio analysis assignments. I must admit that without HwA, I would have lost myself in the maze of everything. They not only helped me out with the ratio analysis assignments but restored my confidence by teaching me the basics.
Martin Conroy Student
This was my first time with TheReliableTutor.com and I’m happy coz I got the assignment exactly the way I wanted. I didn’t need to change or add anything. Thank you so much guys and I look forward to contact you again for more assignments.
Dylan Student
I hugely owe to HwA for clearing my concepts as far as accounting entries are concerned. Previously I was not sure in which side of the balance sheet I need to put things like “labour overheadâ€, “capital investmentâ€, etc. But now, thanks to HwA, everything is crystal clear.
Scott Mitchell Student
The motivational strategy case study handed to me by my professor was a bit confusing one. I was not sure how to approach the issue wherein the workers were not dissatisfied with the salary but felt de-motivated due to the high attrition rate. Then I came across a really helpful HRM expert from HwA , who provided a wonderful solution. I got good grades in that assignment and since then I always take their help for my works.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
