7 Calculating CDA > CDA = Life insurance death benefit ACB > Life insurance death benefit net of policy loans > not net of collateral loans > Applies to permanent and Term policies > Applies whether there is cash value or not > > Notes: > > ACB usually goes to zero after 20+ years, cannot be negative CDA has to be paid out equally to all shareholders of the same class

8 ACB > ACB Adjusted Cost Basis Ensures that corporate money gets taxed properly in personal hands > The ACB of policy tracks the original premium paid by a company for life insurance minus the NCPI > > Formula Premiums Paid increase ACB > NCPI decreases ACB >

9 NCPI > NCPI > Net Cost of Pure Insurance Net amount at risk (NAAR) for the year multiplied by the probability of death in that year, ie: similar to T1 rates > Based on 1975 Select and Ultimate mortality table > Costs for any benefits or riders removed > Removes any ratings on substandard risks

10 CDA Tax Trap > Problem: > Potential death benefit shortfall created by CDA/ACB > Net death benefit may fall short of required amount > Buy-sell > Solution: > Face plus fund plus ACB Increases face amount so that CDA paid is equal to or greater than original death benefit > Removes risk of the ACB tax grind on CDA > Removes risk of underinsuring the need >
