Answer:
$88,150
Explanation:
DINK method for insurance sums one half of all the debt plus funeral expenses. Thus,
Using DINK method
One half of mortgage, 140,000 = 70000
One half of car loan, 14000 = 7000
One half of personal debts, 4800 = 2400
One half of credit card loans, 3500 = 1750
Funeral expenses = 7000
Thus
Total insurance needed =
70000 + 7000 +2400 + 1750 + 7000
= $88,150
Note that, when using DINK method, what the spouse earn isn't used in calculating total insurance.
