Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
The Michigan examination is administered by a testing vendor under contract with DIFS, and the candidate handbook published under DIFS authority sets the fee at $41 per attempt. While M.C.L. 500.240(1)(h) lists a $10 examination fee for exams the Insurance Director personally administers, Michigan licenses through the contracted vendor, so the practical fee a candidate pays is $41.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) $10 is the statutory fee under M.C.L. 500.240(1)(h) that applies only when the director administers the exam — which is not how Michigan exams are actually delivered.
- C) $50 is the fee for the extra-time accommodation (time and one-half) with prior approval, not the standard exam fee.
- D) $5.00 is the annual appointment fee under M.C.L. 500.240(1)(c), not the examination charge.
Memory hook
Forty-one to sit, ten only on paper: the vendor charges $41, the statute's $10 is for director-run exams.
