Hi, my name is Titus. I am having trouble answering this question. Could you help me out?

  1. Life Insurance Needs for a Young Married Couple. Amy and Mack Holly from Rapid City, South Dakota, have been married for three years. They recently bought a home costing $212,000 using a $190,000 mortgage. They have no other debts. Mack earns $62,000 per year, and Amy earns $71,000. Each has a retirement plan valued at approximately $20,000. They recently received an offer in the mail from their mortgage lender for a mortgage life insurance policy of $190,000. Their only life insurance currently is a $20,000 cash-value survivorship joint life policy. They each would like to provide the other with support for at least five years if one of them should die.
