Alfred owned a term life insurance policy at the time he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. After paying $18,300 in premiums
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Alfred paid in premiums = $18,300

company paid Alfred = $125,000

Alfred died after 18 months, then,

Company collected the face amount of the policy = $150,000

Sale of policy = [ company compensation - premium paid]

                       = $125,000 - $18,300

                       = $106,700

In this situation, Alfred receives the submission price from the insurance company consequential in profit.

There is no gain in the income of the insurance policy that is purchased by the Alfred for the long term.

That's why he is not required to include the amount of sale of policy i.e. $106,700.

Hence, Alfred required to include in his gross income will be zero ($0).
