- B. Covering necessary medical expenses or paying off high-interest debt that threatens financial stability
- C. Funding a speculative investment
- D. Purchasing a vacation home

Why might a payee with life-contingent payments receive a lower offer than one with guaranteed payments?
- A. Life-contingent payments are worth more to investors
- B. Life-contingent payments carry mortality risk — they end if the payee dies, making them less certain for the buyer
- C. Guaranteed payments are taxable, reducing their value
- D. There is no difference in valuation between the two types
Answer: B. Life-contingent payments carry mortality risk — they end if the payee dies, making them less certain for the buyer
Life-contingent payments stop at the payee's death, creating uncertainty about the total amount the buyer will receive, which increases risk and reduces the offer price.
