Question

In 2015, Nina contributes 8 percent of her $187,000 annual salary to her 401(k) account. She expects to earn a 7 percent before-tax rate of return. Assuming she leaves this (and any employer contributions) in the account until she retires in 30 years, what is Nina’s after-tax accumulation from her 2015 contributions to her 401(k) account? (Round intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount. Round "Future value factor" to 4 decimal places.)

Assume Nina’s marginal tax rate at retirement is 30 percent.

b. 20 percent

c. 40 percent

Explanation / Answer

Amount contributed    : 187,000 * 8 %              $   14,960

Period of investment in 401(k)                               30 yeras

Present value factor @ 7 % for 30 years            12.4090

Future value of contribution (14,960 * 12.409) : 185,639

Tax rate                                                                    20   %                    30   %                    40 %

Tax on future vale                                                     37,128                     55,692                 74,256

After tax proceeds                                                   148,511                   129,947                111,383
