The answer to this question is c. Kathy has to pay based on a quasi contract.
Explanation:
Based on the scenario displayed above Kathy has to pay based on a quasi contract.

The answer for the first blank is needs, the second blank is preferences.

Answer:
$130,000
Explanation:
Sarah is making use of the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy
The first step is to calculate the total amount of life insurance
Total amount of life insurance = Total needs - total assets
Total need = income needs + cash needs + special needs
= $140,000 + $30,000 + $100,000
= $270,000
Total assets= retirement plan + bank account + investment account
= $30,000 + $20,000 + $40,000
= $90,000
Total amount of life insurance = $270,000-$90,000
= $180,000
Since Sarah is covered by $50,000 group insurance by her employer then the additional life insurance that should be purchased can be calculated as follows
= $180,000 - $50,000
= $130,000
