Life Insurance Basics

Why can the human life value approach and the needs approach produce different amounts for the same client?

Answer and explanation
Answer: D. One method capitalises what the earner would have produced, the other adds up the specific sums the survivors will require, so the two rarely coincide. The needs approach in fact subtracts existing resources, and both apply whether or not other cover exists.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, human life value approach
