Earnings Per Share Summary. Earnings Per Share represents the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. The net income (reported or estimated) for a period divided by the total number of shares outstanding (TSO) during that period.
The shorter the term you want to insure, the greater the difference in value. After 10 years, the expected cash value of the whole life insurance policy is $70,871, while the expected outcome from term life plus an investment portfolio would be $108,355 â 52% more.
After all, whole life insurance is intended to cover your whole life. Term insurance, on the other hand, is a stripped-down model of life insurance. There are no excess premiums to be invested, and no promises or guarantees beyond the end of the term, which can range from 1 to 30 years.
