Answer: 0%
Explanation:
The $20,000 contribution to the variable annuity is not taxed and neither is the gain, at least not yet.
With the variable annuity, the gains/earnings will be tax-deferred and the customer will only have to pay taxes when they withdraw the contributions.
When this happens they will be charged at the normal income tax rate.

Once a company reaches 50 or more employees, and meets any of the below criteria, it has 120 days to create an Affirmative Action Plan. Every year the company remains larger than 50 employees and meets the federal contracts guidelines listed below, it is required to update the plan to track changes in employee population and employee transactions.
In some instances, companies are required to implement an Affirmative Action Plan without a direct government contract. If government contractors purchase at least $50,000 worth of goods to fulfill their obligations on a government contract, then the goods’ seller is also subject to the OFFCP’s laws.
A prime example is a hardware company which sells screws to a company that builds Navy submarines. Although there’s no direct contract with the government for the hardware company, accepting the order as part of a government contract makes it a bill of lading, and if it exceeds $50,000 total revenue on those deals, then both sides must comply with Affirmative Action law.
Answer:
E) -2.50 ; inferior
Explanation:
Before you earned $3,500 per month, you consumed 7 units per month. That means that you consumed 1 unit every $500 earned.
When your income increased to $4,000, you only consumed 5 units per month. That means that your consumption decreased to 1 unit for every $800.
The income elasticity of demand using the midpoint method is calculated by using the following formula:
income elasticity = {change in quantity demanded / [(old quantity + new quantity) / 2]} / {change in income / [(old income + new income) / 2]}
= {-2 / [(7 + 5) / 2]} / {500 / [(3,500 + 4,000) / 2]} = (-2 / 6) / (500 / 3,750) = -0.333 / 0.133 = -2.5
Since the income elasticity of demand is negative, the good X is an inferior good.
