Explanation / Answer

Tom and Faith have insurable interests in each others' lives and Investment Lenders Inc. has an insurable interest in Faith.

Investment Lenders Inc. needs to recover debts from Faith and hence the Inc. has a financial interest in Faith. Therefore it could be an insurable interest. Moreover, as Tom and Faith are partners in a business venture, one of them could suffer a financial loss if the other partner has turned incompetent or in case of death of a partner because in such a case, the partnership firm gets automatically dissolved. That is why, the Tom and Faith have insurable interests in each other’s lives because of the existence factor of the partnership firm relating to it.
