Reynaldo Murray · Answer 1

a) $200,000 to Jack

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Life insurance policy amount of Marilyn Simms = $200,000

The primary beneficiary = Jack

The contingent beneficiaries = Their children

Now, the distribution of the policy could be taken by only Jack as he is her husband plus he is also a primary benefit of her life insurance policy,

So, the whole amount i. e $200,000 is distributed to Jack
