Answer:

A. - The net public debt decreases

The net public debt decreases because the government has obtained more funds in tax revenue. For this reason, the government will likely run a budget surplus.

B. - The net public debt increases

The government was already running a budget deficit (albeit a small one). With the effects of the hurricane, the government will have to spend more to help the people affected, and will likely have to borrow even more, increasing its deficit.

C. - The net public debt remains unchanged

There was a transfer of funds from one government agency to the other, and the net effect of such transfer is likely to be very small to make any significant change in the net public debt. The net public debt remains unchanged.

vredina [299]

Answer:

My best advice for the spouse would be to designate herself as the new account owner, and since she is 62, she can start taking regular distributions from it. Any distributions that she takes will be taxed as ordinary income (the same rule would have applied to the late husband).

Explanation:

If she had her own IRA account (which is doubtful since she doesn't work), she could also roll over her late spouse's balance into her own account.

The wife's third option would be to treat herself as a beneficiary, not the owner or spouse, but that would only complicate things and result in higher costs.
