Short Answer

A client, age 25, is deciding whether to purchase a $25,000, 20-year endowment policy or a $50,000, 20-payment life policy. He plans to build a house 10 years from now and to borrow the maximum available against any policy he owns at that time. How much more could the client borrow on the 20-payment life policy than he could borrow on the 20-year endowment policy? Refer to Table 12-2. (1 year = 12 months.)​
