Answer:
Joan will pay income tax on the $10,000 she withdrew in 2018.
Explanation:
When withdrawing from traditional retirement account, the following rules apply:
1. Withdrawals before attaining the age of 59.5 years attract a penalty of 10%, along with income tax on the amount withdrawn.
2. Withdrawals after the age of 59.5 years are treated as income, so income tax is paid on it. In this case tax on the $10,000 withdrawn.
3. At age 70.5 and above you must take the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from the pension account.
Note: Roth IRA does not attract tax payments for ages 59.5 years and above, unlike traditional IRA that attracts income tax.
RMD payments does not apply for Roth IRA.
Answer:
0.76
Explanation:
So, in this particular question we are given that that there are two assets which are the; [1]. stock fund and [2]. a long-term government and corporate bond fund.
From the question/problem, we have that the Expected ret and the std. dev. for the Stock fund is 18% and 25% respectively. Also, the Expected ret and std. dev. for Bond fund 11% and 18% respectively.
Thus, the investment proportion in the minimum variance portfolio of the bond fund = 1 - [ ( 18%)² - 0.4 × 25% × 18%) ÷ ( 25%)² + (18%)² - 2 × 0.4 × 25% × 18%. = 1 - [0.0144 ÷ 0.0609 ] = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76.
