Life Insurance Basics

Why does paying premium monthly usually cost more in total than paying annually?

Answer and explanation
Answer: D. Paying more often means the insurer holds the money for less time and processes more transactions, so the total paid over a year is higher. Underwriting, taxation, and benefit levels do not vary with the mode.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, mode of premium
