Jack and diane are looking at variable annuities. the two have been married for a long period of time. they are contemplating between getting a life annuity for diane or getting a joint and last survivor annuity for the two of them. they would be contributing the same amount to the annuity in either case, but they are assuming that since the joint and last survivor annuity covers both of them, that they would receive higher monthly payments from that annuity. the annuity is intended to supplement their social security income and the couple pay bills. how should their agent handle this scenario?
(a) the agent should just split the money up and sell them two variable annuities, one life annuity and one joint and last survivor annuity.
(b) the agent should inform them that since the joint and last survivor annuity covers two people, it would, in fact, have a higher monthly payment.
(c) the agent should inform them that since the joint and last survivor annuity must cover the life expectancy of both of them, that the payout from this option will actually be less than that from a life annuity for diane alone.
(d) the agent should tell them that with a joint and last survivor annuity, both individuals must be living to receive payments.

Now ray has had the tires for two months and he notices that the tread has started to pull away from the tire. he has already contacted the place who sold the tires and calmly and accurately explained the problem. they didn’t him because they no longer carry that tire. so he talked with the manager and he still did not get the tire replaced. his consumer rights are being violated. pretend you are ray and write a letter to the company’s headquarters. here are some points to keep in mind when writing the letter: include your name, address, and account number, if appropriate. describe your purchase (name of product, serial numbers, date and location of purchase). state the problem and give the history of how you tried to resolve the problem. ask for a specific action. include how you can be reached.
