Answer:
Consider the following calculations and explanation
Explanation:
.a. Reggie sets up a SEP IRA:
He can contribute maximum amount of 25% of his net income, upper limit being $55,000 in 2018 and $54,000 in 2017.
Since his net income is $300,000: 25% of his net income (300000*0.25)=$75,000
Upper limit in 2017=$54,000
In 2017 he can contribute maximum $54,000
In 2018 he can contribute maximum$55,000
.b. . Reggie sets up an individual 401(K):
Annual salary deferral of $18,500 im 2018 and $18,000 in 2017. Since he is above 50 , there will be additional amount of $ 6,000 for him. So he can have annual salary deferral of $24.500 in 2018 and $24,000 in 2017
Contribute additional maximum $55,000 in 2018 and $54,000 in 2017
