Since Edna was married to Donald, she is eligible to receiveCanada Pension Plan (CPP) survivor benefits, which provide a monthly benefit to surviving spouses. Old Age Security (OAS) survivor allowance may not apply directly here as it is conditional and may not provide immediate benefits like the CPP does in this situation. Workers' Compensation does not apply as it pertains to workplace injuries, and since Donald was not injured on the job, it does not cover Edna’s situation.Therefore,Option Cis correct​​.

Capital gains = FMV $400,000 – ACB $200,000 = $200,000.

Taxable portion = 50% × $200,000 = $100,000.

At a 50% tax rate, the total tax liability = $50,000.

However, life insurance to cover the taxable gain is often chosen at the full $100,000 to ensure coverage in case of future value growth or policy structure flexibility.

For young children, a trustee must be named to manage proceeds. For tax obligations, naming the estate simplifies settling liabilities such as RRSP taxes. LLQP outlines this structure as appropriate in combined term-permanent planning for dependents and estate tax planning.

Since Emma is a minor, naming her directly as a beneficiary would complicate access to funds until she reaches the age of majority. Additionally, Steve, given his circumstances, would not be a suitable option. Instead,naming a trusteefor Emma's benefit would ensure that the funds are managed responsibly until she is of legal age to handle the inheritance. This setup aligns with Bethenny's intention to provide financial security for Emma, allowing a trusted adult to manage the funds in Emma's best interests​​.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans (DBPPs) provide a guaranteed income stream to the plan member after retirement, based on a formula considering factors like years of service and salary history. Generally, unless explicitly set up with survivor benefits, DBPPs do not automatically transfer income to a surviving spouse upon the member's death. In Harold's case, if no survivor benefit option was selected during retirement setup, Karl would not receive any income from Harold’s DBPP. Therefore, the correct answer isA. $0as no automatic provision ensures Karl receives benefits unless Harold had chosen and paid for survivor benefits​​.

In group life insurance plans, the employee (insured individual) is typically responsible for designating their own beneficiary. Although Premier Vibe Inc. sponsors the group plan, it is Ae-Cha, as the policyholder, who has the right to choose her beneficiary for the life insurance coverage provided under the plan​​. The employer or the insurer does not decide the beneficiary; this decision remains solely with the insured employee.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)outlines that provincial/territorial regulatory authorities oversee insurance agents and protect consumers by promoting transparency, enforcing ethical conduct, and facilitating dispute resolution. Monica’s actions (accepting coverage without consent) breach client autonomy and disclosure rules. Regulatory authorities investigate such conduct and refer clients to independent bodies like the OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance for complaints. They don’t reimburse losses (B), organize lawsuits (C), or focus solely on public education and office closures (D). Option A aligns with their role, making it correct.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)states that only licensed agents can receive compensation for insurance referrals, and payments contingent on sales are prohibited for unlicensed individuals. Jamie is no longer an agent, and the flat fee is contingent on sales, violating regulatory rules. Her past licensure (A) doesn’t permit this, client awareness (B) doesn’t override the licensing requirement, and the flat fee structure (D) isn’t the issue—contingency is. This protects against unlicensed solicitation, making C correct.

Life insurance agents are generally required to deliver the insurance contract to the client within a “reasonable time” to ensure that the client is promptly informed of the policy’s terms and conditions. This standard is set to prevent undue delays that might affect the client's rights and their free look period. While no specific timeframe is always mandated, it is commonly understood within the LLQP guidelines that timely delivery is essential for compliance​​. Therefore, Olivier can reasonably wait until after his weekend to deliver the contract on Tuesday, as this would still fall within a reasonable time.

In Ontario, married members of a defined benefit pension plan (DBPP) are typically required to provide at least a 50% survivor benefit to their spouse upon their death unless the spouse waives this right. LLQP materials covering pension plans indicate that this spousal protection is standard for defined benefit plans, and Maria's pension would provide at least 50% to Juan as the surviving spouse​​.

Options like reducing the survivor benefit below 50% are generally not permitted under Ontario pension law, and a waiver must be in place for any changes​.
