Case Application 1 When I examined Richard and Monica's insurance policies, I found the following: a. Medical coverage was adequate. b. Auto insurance was at the minimum level for the state of ,000 to 0,000 per accident. c. Homeowners insurance was at a level of 50 percent of replacement cost for the house. They had a 90 percent coinsurance clause. d.

Richard had no disability coverage. e. A note saying that Richard didn't want long-term care insurance, but Monica was interested in looking at it. Questions 1. What is your recommendation for auto insurance? 2.

What is your homeowners insurance recommendation? 3. Give the advantages for Richard obtaining disability insurance. 4. Do you believe Richard and/or Monica should have long-term care insurance?

Why? 5. Complete the other insurance part of the financial plan. Case Application 2 Richard and Monica estimated they would have adjusted gross income of 8,000 in the current year and would have exemptions of ,900 and deductions of ,000. Their aver- age combined federal and state tax bracket was 33 percent.

Questions 1. Compute their projected taxes for the year. 2. Richard wanted to know if he should take a ,000 tax deduction this year or wait until next year to do so. He was inclined to do so now even though his average tax bracket would likely be 28 percent next year.

What do you think he should do? 3. Monica wanted to know if they should place their savings into a qualified pension or save it personally. She said that Richard often had modest losses, not gains, each year. What is your recommendation?

4. Monica asked what tax-planning strategies you would recommend for them? Do so while completing the tax-planning section of the plan. Case application 3 Monica asked that we meet to see if I could help to reduce the differences between them. When the time came, she started the conversation by saying that Richard wasn’t saving any money at all.

They hadn’t started implementing. She said he spent a good deal of time buy- ing and selling stocks. He seemed to be influenced by the weekly ups and downs of the market. At least temporarily, however, he had raised the quality of the stocks he was buying. Richard seemed a little annoyed and said that Monica never wanted to sell any securities.

She almost always told him to wait. She said the shares would come back. When I asked what money meant to them, Richard said an opportunity to gamble and Monica replied a chance to lose what you’ve accumulated. As far as their long-term goals were concerned, Richard said he had no real long-term goals. The future was too fickle.

He said who knew what fate had in store for them. Monica’s goal was to feel secure. I had the feeling that her remark was in response to Richard’s behavior. She wouldn’t allow herself to think of anything beyond security until Richard’s activities could be controlled. Questions 1.

What should be done about Richard’s spending? 2. What kind of investment behavior is Richard demonstrating? What can be done about it? 3.

What is Monica’s investment behavior called? How can it be helped? 4. Contrast their two views of money. Do you have any recommendations?

5. How can Monica’s fears be dealt with? Case application 4 In working out the capital needs analysis, it became apparent that there was need for an additional ,000 of savings annually over what was previously calculated. The first reason had to do with a recent job development that resulted in a projected moderation in Richard’s raises in salary to a level 1–2 percentage points below the inflation rate and that made his job more risky. The second was the running of the total portfolio management approach, which indicated that the assumed investment rate needed to be lowered to 5 percent.

Richard took the news in stride and said he thought I was too negative. Things would work out in the job. He would just have to invest more aggressively than originally planned. Monica, on the other hand, was shaken. She thought that their tolerance for risk would have to be cut back.

She said she would consider taking a full-time job if necessary. Richard shook his head as if to say no but didn’t speak. Monica thought they could down- size by selling their house and realizing an extra 0,000. She wondered what level of insurance she could afford and whether they should cut back on the amount. Richard didn’t like that idea.

Monica said disagreement on financial matters was a feature throughout their marital lives. She thought that I should make the recommendations. She pledged to follow them. Somewhat surprisingly to me, Richard agreed as well. Questions 1.

Go over the alternatives for increasing savings. 2. What do you think of Monica’s offer to take a job? 3. Under the TPM approach, should the risky portion of their asset allocation be raised or lowered?

4. Should their insurance be raised or lowered? 5. Do you feel they should downsize their dwelling? 6.

What are your recommendations? Incorporate savings, investing, life insurance, and other relevant areas. 7. Should there be controls set up to assist in ensuring that the recommendations are followed? 8.

What kind of follow-up with the advisor would you recommend? 9. Complete the financial plan. Problem 1: The taxpayer, a calendar year corporation, wants to change its company’s headquarters, which is currently a 10-story building. The company owns the property without a mortgage.

The company decides to exchange its existing property for a retail and residential building complex. You assisted the company is structuring the exchange. Both parties used the “middleman†corporation, to whom the properties were initially conveyed. The agreement with the middleman included the requirement that the taxpayer sell its property to the middleman, and then, within 45 days of the initial closing, formally identify which of the two new properties it intended to acquire. The identified property was also sold to the middleman corporation.

The corporation would then transfer title to the taxpayer within 180 days after the date of initial closing. Unfortunately, the transaction has not proceeded as planned. The taxpayer transferred its property to the middleman, receiving ,000,000 in cash. The company formally identified the property it intended to acquire. Unfortunately, one week before the 180 days was up, the seller of the property backed out of the arrangement.

Case Application Analysis: Richard and Monica's Financial Situations

In analyzing Richard and Monica’s financial and insurance situations, several crucial aspects need engagement. It becomes vital to first address each case application in terms of the insurance policies they currently have, the implications of their financial behaviors, and how these behaviors align with their long-term goals. This structured analysis will ensure effective and comprehensive recommendations.

Case Application 1

Recommendations for Auto Insurance

Given that Richard and Monica currently hold auto insurance at the minimum required level (,000 to 0,000 per accident), it's prudent to recommend an increase in coverage. While state minimums provide basic protection, they may not be sufficient in the event of a serious accident, particularly given rising medical costs. To ensure financial safety, a recommendation would be to increase liability coverage to at least 0,000 to 0,000 or even 0,000 per person, 0,000 total per accident, which can help protect personal assets in the event of a lawsuit (Insurance Information Institute, 2021).

Homeowners Insurance Recommendations

Currently, Richard and Monica’s homeowners insurance is set at 50 percent of the replacement cost of their home. This is generally advised against due to insufficient coverage. It is recommended that they increase their coverage to at least 100 percent of their home's replacement value to ensure full protection against damage or loss (Galves, 2018). With a 90 percent coinsurance clause, this will ensure compliance with their insurance policy's requirement while adequately protecting their financial investment.

Advantages of Disability Insurance

Richard currently lacks disability coverage, which poses a significant risk. Disability insurance replaces a portion of income if one becomes unable to work due to illness or injury. Investing in this insurance can provide peace of mind and financial security, protecting against unforeseen circumstances that can drastically affect their livelihoods (Insure.com, 2020). Moreover, it can cover living expenses and debts, allowing them to maintain their standard of living during a challenging time (National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 2021).

Long-Term Care Insurance Necessity

Given that Monica is interested in long-term care insurance while Richard is not, assessing their overall health and family history is essential. Long-term care insurance can be beneficial as it covers services that standard health insurance does not, including assistance with daily living activities (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2021). Given the increasing cost of long-term care services, starting a policy early can substantially reduce monthly premiums.

Other Insurance Considerations

Other insurance policies Richard and Monica should consider include life insurance and umbrella insurance. Life insurance can provide financial security to dependents in the event of untimely death. Umbrella policies can offer additional liability coverage beyond standard policies, safeguarding their assets more comprehensively (Smith, 2020).

Case Application 2

Projected Tax Calculation

To compute their projected taxes for the year, we use the formula:
AGI = Total Income - Deductions - Exemptions
- Adjusted Gross Income (AGI): 8,000
- Exemptions: ,900
- Deductions: ,000
The taxable income becomes:
\[
Taxable Income = AGI - Deductions - Exemptions \
Taxable Income = 108,000 - 25,000 - 7,900 = 75,100
\]

Calculating Taxes

Considering a tax bracket of 33%, their total tax liability would be:
\[
Projected Taxes = Taxable Income * Tax Rate \
Projected Taxes = 75,100 * 33\% = 24,783
\]

Timing for Tax Deductions

As for Richard's inclination to take a ,000 tax deduction this year versus postponing it to next year under a likely lower tax bracket of 28%, it is recommended to take the deduction now. Given the higher current tax bracket, taking the deduction will provide more immediate tax benefits, significantly lowering their tax burden for the current year.

Savings Strategies

Monica's suggestion of placing their savings in a qualified pension plan is favorable, especially if the employer offers matching contributions. However, considering Richard's history of "modest losses," it might be prudent to balance investment in the pension with personal savings to minimize risk exposure (Harvard Business Review, 2019).

Tax-Planning Strategies

Recommendations for tax-planning strategies may include tax-loss harvesting to offset gains and investments in tax-deferred accounts (IRS, 2022). This strategy can help lower their taxable income while also maximizing after-tax returns.

Case Application 3

Addressing Richard's Spending

It is crucial to tackle Richard's spending habits by establishing structured financial goals together with Monica. Budgetary guidelines may provide necessary controls on discretionary spending, creating a balance between investment and consumption (Penny Hoarder, 2021).

Investment Behavior Analysis

Richard's investment behavior appears to be speculative, guided by market volatility rather than a long-term strategy. An investment plan favoring strategies like dollar-cost averaging could mitigate risk and encourage consistent investments regardless of market fluctuations (Bogleheads, 2021).

Monica's Investment Behavior

Conversely, Monica displays a more conservative investment philosophy, focusing on security over growth. This behavior can be supported by financial education coaching to promote balanced risk acceptance and preparedness for investments by understanding the market better.

Divergent Viewpoints on Money

Richard’s views equate money with gambling opportunities, while Monica sees it as a vehicle for securing their future. It’s essential to bridge this gap by promoting financial literacy through joint workshops or consulting a financial advisor together.

Addressing Fears

To deal with Monica’s fears of losing accumulated wealth, instilling financial discipline and transparency in the family's finances is crucial. This can create a mutual understanding of each parties’ inclinations and foster agreement on long-term financial goals.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Richard and Monica's case illustrates the complexity of familial financial planning and stark differences in attitudes towards money and investment. Recommendations focus on enhancing coverage in auto and homeowners insurances, the necessity of disability coverage, the long-term care discussion, tax strategies, and establishing a structured approach to spending and investing. These solutions should pave the way towards a more secure financial future for both.
