She has incurred sizable medical bills and other general living expenses and is in need of cash. Therefore, Laura is considering selling stock that cost her $35,000 in 2005 and now has a fair market value of $50,000. This amount would be sufficient to pay her medical bills. However, she has read about a company (the Vital BenefitsCompany) that would purchase her life insurance policy for $50,000. Shehas paid $30,000 in premiums on the policy. a.Considering only the tax effects, would selling the stock or sellingthe life insurance policy result in more beneficial tax treatment?b.
