Retirement and Other Insurance Concepts

Two clients need the same monthly survivor income. Why does the capital retention approach require a larger death benefit than capital liquidation?

Answer and explanation
Answer: C. Capital retention leaves the principal untouched for heirs, so the fund must be big enough that its earnings alone meet the income need. Capital liquidation draws down principal too, so a smaller fund suffices.Source: NAIC Life Insurance Buyer's Guide — How much life insurance do you need: preserving or spending principal
