QUESTION: 49

Death proceeds-ordinary $10, 000

Cash $11, 000
On first appearance, one might think that this will cause the net gain from operations to be $11, 000 lower. However, if the policy has a reserve of $3, 000, the effect on the net gain is only ______________ , because the reserve liability of $3, 000 and the dividend liability of $1, 000 will no longer be shown on the balance sheet

$7, 000
$10, 000
$8, 000
