Defined Benefit Pension Plans (DBPPs) provide a guaranteed income stream to the plan member after retirement, based on a formula considering factors like years of service and salary history. Generally, unless explicitly set up with survivor benefits, DBPPs do not automatically transfer income to a surviving spouse upon the member's death. In Harold's case, if no survivor benefit option was selected during retirement setup, Karl would not receive any income from Harold’s DBPP. Therefore, the correct answer isA. $0as no automatic provision ensures Karl receives benefits unless Harold had chosen and paid for survivor benefits​​.

In a cross-purchase buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance, each shareholder purchases a life insurance policy on the lives of the other shareholders. Upon the death of a shareholder, the surviving shareholders use the proceeds from the insurance to buy out the deceased shareholder’s shares at the agreed value. Since each share is valued at $5,000, Alana's 100 shares would be worth:

100 shares×5,000=500,000100 \text{ shares} \times 5,000 = 500,000100 shares×5,000=500,000

Thus, Meaghan and Beatrice would collectively purchase Alana's shares from her estate, providing her estate with a total of$500,000. Each surviving shareholder will then own an additional 50 shares, resulting in each now holding 150 shares of Advanced Tech Inc. This option aligns with the principles of cross-purchase agreements discussed in the LLQP​​​.
