Exercise 19-21 (LO. 6)

The AGI of the Newtons, a married couple, is $201,000 this year. They would like to contribute to a Roth IRA.

a. What is the maximum amount this couple can contribute to a Roth IRA?

b. Suppose that the Newtons will report AGI of less than $201,000 and put $12,000 each year into their Roth IRA for 20 years, earning an annual return of 5%. What future value will accumulate in their Roth at the end of this period? The future value of an ordinary annuity at 5% for 20 years is 33.0660.
