question 66

Short Answer

In 2014, Christina made a one-time contribution of $12,000 to her 401(k) account, and she received a matching contribution from her employer in the amount of $4,000. Christina expects to earn a 6-percent before-tax rate of return on her account balance. Assuming Christina withdraws the entire balance in 25 years when she retires, what is Christina's after-tax accumulation from the 2014 contributions to her 401(k) account? Assume her marginal tax rate at retirement is 35 percent.
