Answer to requirement B:
To work out the right amount of cover needed by Francesca a computation of the need
analysis has been done. A recommendation can be given to Francesca of taking a term life
insurance (Woellner et al. 2016). This insurance will protect the family from the financial
stress in the event of Francesca death. Based on the adequacy of the Francesca current
accounts needs the life insurance will cover the income protection, total and permanent
disability, trauma and funeral insurance. The life insurance will provide Francesca with the
protection from the life-changing circumstances. In exchange of the financial security,
Francesca will be required to pay the monthly or the yearly fee which in other words is

known as insurance premium. In case of Francesca, if anything goes serious or wrong such as
a serious injury, illness or death, it will help her and her family to cover the cost of funeral
and financially as well.
As in the current situation of Francesca life insurance has been recommended, it can
be suggested that the life insurance will cover death. The life insurance will help Francesca
by paying out her with a lump sum amount when they pass away (Barkoczy 2016). This
money will go the mother of Francesca whom she has nominated in her policy.
Francesca can also be recommended to avail the trauma cover. This insurance can be
considered critical for Francesca in case of suffering any kind of terminal illness (Sadiq
2019). If Francesca is diagnosed with the critical illness, such as the cancer then she can get a
lump sum as this will enable Francesca to pay for her medical and rehabilitation costs also.
Francesca under the life insurance policy is also recommended to take her income
protection. This will helps in providing her with approximately 85% of her work income. If
she is unable to work in future because of any serious injury or illness then 85% of
Francesca’s income will be covered under the income protection plan.
