Answer:

b.8,485

Explanation:

To calculate the taxable gain when terminating the policy, we need to consider the cash surrender value (CSV), the adjusted cost basis (ACB), outstanding policy loans, and any outstanding premiums.

Taxable Gain = CSV - (ACB + Outstanding Loans + Outstanding Premiums)

Taxable Gain = $102,000 - ($48,000 + $40,000 + $5,300 + $215)

Taxable Gain = $102,000 - $93,515

Taxable Gain = $8,485
