An employer will do a 50% match on your investment to a 401k retirement plan. If you decide to contribute a monthly amount of $2

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

There will be $92,635.42 in the account after 15 years.

Explanation:

Missing question "The interest rate is fixed at 2.05%"

As the employer does a 50% match on the employee’s investment, the monthly contribution to the retirement plan will be = 2 * $220 = $ 440.

The future value (F) of an annuity is given by F = (P/r)[(1+r)n-1]

P is the periodic payment

r is the rate per period

n is the number of periods.

P = 440, r = 2.05/1200 and n = 15*12 = 180.

F = (440*1200/2.05)[ (1+2.05/1200)180 -1]

F = (528000/2.05)*0.359664042

F = 92635.4215493

F = $92635.42

Thus, there will be $92,635.42 in the account after 15 years.

In two or three sentences, describe how antitrust laws encourages competition

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Antitrust laws prevent monopolies.
A monopoly is a company or business that dominates a particular market to such an extent that there is no viable competition to that company. 
Since a monopoly does not have any other serious competition in a market, the monopoly is at greater liberty to charge higher prices and offer lower-quality prices. 
Antitrust laws break up or limit the size of monopolies, allowing other companies to enter a market.

Dan, and Mike are brothers. They plan to begin savings plans when each is exactly 25. Each brother plans to save $6,000 per year

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1. How much will Dan have in his traditional IRA account at 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$500

B) Amount in account at age 67?

$2,813,492

C) Briefly explain the taxation on withdrawals from a Traditional IRA

IRA contributions are made before income taxes are paid, that is why Dan's monthly contributions are higher. The disadvantage is that Dan's plan will be taxed later.

2. How much will Mike have in his Roth IRA at age 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$375 until 59.5 years old, then $500

B) Amount in account at age 67

$2,072,879

c) Briefly explain the taxation on the withdrawals from a Roth IRA

Roth IRA contributions are made after income taxes are paid, that is why Mike's monthly contributions are lower. The advantage is that Mike's plan will not be taxed later.

3. If both brothers are expected to be taxed at a 20% tax rate in retirement, which retirement plan will have the best after tax results?

In this case, since the tax rate is higher while they are working (25%), than once they retire (20%), the traditional IRA account could make more sense except that since the time span is very long, your account will accumulate a lot of earned interest. The total principal invested into the traditional IRA account is $252,000 and the interest gained is $2,561,492 and that part will be taxed once you start withdrawing money. In order to determine which account would be better, you need to estimate how many years will Dan and Mike live after retiring, the longer they live the best option is the Roth IRA account.

Explanation:

the formula to determine the future value of an annuity is:

FV = P x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r

Dan's monthly contribution = $500

Mike's monthly contribution = $500 x (1 - 25%) = $375 until age 59.5, then $500

Dan's n = 42 years x 12 months = 504

r = 9% / 12 = 0.75%

Mike's n = 414 for $375 and 90 for $500

Dan's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁵⁰⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $2,813,492

Mike's FV = $375 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁴¹⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $1,052,612

then $1,052,612 x (1.09)⁷°⁵ = $2,008,940

Mike's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁹⁰ - 1] / 0.75% = $63,939

total = $2,008,940 + $63,939 = $2,072,879

In an organic organization:_______

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

d. employees are encouraged to develop knowledge and expertise outside of their specialization.

Explanation:

An organizational structure can be defined as the process which typically involves dividing an organization into various functional units.

Basically, the organizational structure comprises of three (3) main dimensions and these are;

I. The vertical dimension: this is typically the decision-making responsibilities (decentralization and centralization).

II. The horizontal dimension: this divides the organization into subunits.

III. Integrating mechanisms: it is based typically on the strategic mechanism that controls the various subunits within an organization.

An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.

Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).

In an organic organization unlike a mechanistic organisation, employees are encouraged to develop knowledge and expertise outside of their specialization rather than being static or inflexible.
