Answer:

$151,775

Explanation:

Using DINK method

One half of mortgage, 261000 = 130500

One half of auto loan, 10000 = 5000

One half of credit card loan, 2150 = 1075

Other debt = 6200

Funeral cost = 9000

Thus,

Insurance = 130,500 + 5000 + 1075 + 6200 + 9000

= $151,775

Note that, DINK method involves adding one half of all debts plus funeral expenses. Although, one half of other debts isn't added. It's an insurance meant to keep one's spouse afloat should something happen to the other.
