Use the attached documents above to evaluate and make recommendations for the Jame's family about their Health Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Life Insurance.

You will write your recommendations in a letter addressed to the James family. Make sure to describe your reasons for the choices you have made and to describe major features of any insurance you have chosen (eg if you want Jane to buy another $100,000 in life insurance is that 10 year level term, ordinary whole life etc...).

Be sure to include analysis of the amount of life insurance needed for Jim and Jane. This should be in the form of an excel file and you should use either the Human Life Value Approach or the Needs Approach.
