The veteran population totaled 21 million at the end of 2014.

Answer:

The market potential for life insurance in the military market is $14,310,400,640

Explanation:

For computing the market potential, first, we have to compute the total number of buyers which is shown below:

Total number of buyers = Active duty personnel + veteran population

                                       = $1,360,001 + $21,000,000

                                       = $22,360,001

Now the market potential equal to

= Total number of buyers × average cost of life insurance× quantity purchased in a year

= $22,360,001 × 1 × $640

= $14,310,400,640
