An accumulation annuity offers flexibility in terms of access to funds. According to LLQP guidelines, accumulation annuities permit both periodic withdrawals and the option for full surrender, though withdrawals are generally subject to minimum and maximum limits, depending on the contract. Furthermore, such annuities often allow for flexibility in accessing funds without the need for strict schedules, unlike some other products that may restrict surrenders to specific times​​. Therefore, option A accurately describes the flexibility associated with accumulation annuities, making it the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect because surrenders in accumulation annuities are not usually restricted to specific times. Option C is inaccurate as accumulation annuities are designed for flexibility. OptionD is incorrect as market value adjustments are not automatically applied; these depend on the contract terms and market conditions.

Larson’s recommendation for Julia to open a TFSA and invest in a money market fund is a strategy aimed at building a readily accessible emergency fund. This fund can help mitigate the risk of unforeseen expenses, which is a common financial risk. According to LLQP principles, creating anemergency fund within a TFSA provides tax-free growth and easy access to funds for unexpected costs, such as repairs, medical expenses, or temporary income loss​​.

Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they relate to specific risks not directly addressed by the creation of an emergency fund. A TFSA primarily provides liquidity for unexpected expenses rather than addressing job loss, bankruptcy, or leveraging.

Lily’s RRSP contribution room is reduced by her DCPP contributions. Her total income for Year 2 was $125,000, and she contributed 5% ($6,250) to the DCPP, matched by the employer, for a total of $12,500. The Pension Adjustment (PA) for her DCPP contribution would be $12,500, which reduces her RRSP contribution room.

Calculation:

RRSP limit based on previous year’s income (18% of $120,000): $21,600

PA reduction: $12,500

Remaining RRSP contribution room for Year 2: $21,600 - $12,500 = $9,100

Including her unused contribution room: $9,100 + $15,000 = $24,100

So, Lily can contribute $24,600 to her RRSP in Year 2​.

In this scenario, Rowan, an employee of a construction company, suffers an injury while on the job. Since the injury occurred in the workplace, he would be eligible for benefits under Workers' Compensation. Workers' Compensation is designed to cover employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, providing them with benefits that include coverage for medical expenses and income replacement during their period of disability​.

As the accident happened while Rowan was performing work duties, Workers' Compensation will likely cover his wage loss for the duration he is unable to work due to the injury. Employment Insurance (EI) would not be applicable here, as EI sickness benefits are intended for non-work-related illnesses or injuries. The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) also would not apply, as it provideslong-term disability benefits primarily for severe and prolonged disabilities that prevent individuals from working in any capacity. Therefore, option D is the correct answer, as Workers' Compensation is specifically designed for cases like Rowan’s​.
