Question

In 2014, Nitai contributes 10 percent of his $102,000 annual salary to a Roth 401 (k) account sponsored by his employer, AY Inc. AY Inc. matches employee contributions dollar for dollar up to 10 percent of the employee's salary to the employee's traditional 401(k) account. Nitai expects to earn a 8 percent before-tax rate of return Assuming he leaves his contributions in the Roth 401 (k) and traditional 401 (k) accounts until he retires in 25 years, what are Nitai's after-tax proceeds from the Roth 401(k) and traditional 401 (k) accounts after he receives the distributions assuming his marginal tax rate at retirement is 30 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Future value factor" to 4 decimal places. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount.) Roth 401(k) Traditional 401(k) Before-tax contribution Future value factor Future value of contribution Taxes payable on distribution After tax proceeds from distribution

Answer 1

	Roth 401(k)	Traditional 401(k)
Before-tax contribution	10200 (102000*10%)	10200 (102000*10%)
Future value factor	X 1.0825	X 1.0825
Future value contribution	69854	69854
Taxes payable on distribution	0	(20956) (69854*30%)
After tax proceeds from distribution	69854	48898

At retirement, distributions from Roth 401(k) plans are not taxable.
