Mini-Case B: (5 marks)

Mariela understands Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) but also understands that the available contribution room can be tricky to calculate. See Table C to help with your responses. She knows the following:

you can withdraw any amount from your TFSA whenever you want;

all withdrawals are tax-free;

withdrawing from your TFSA doesnt result in lost TFSA contribution room;

withdrawals you make this year will be added to your unused contribution room the following year (i.e. withdrawing from your TFSA has no effect on your contribution room in the year that you make the withdrawal, it only affects your contribution room for the following year); and

you can re-contribute any funds that you have withdrawn from your TFSA back into your account starting the year after the year in which you make the withdrawal (i.e. January 1^st of the following year).

B) Marielas father has always made the maximum annual TFSA contribution since the program started in 2009. His TFSA has grown significantly as he has invested in some very aggressive stocks that have done well. The market value of his TFSA as of October 28, 2022 is valued at $605,890. He has never made any withdrawals from his TFSA but is now looking to withdraw the full amount on October 31, 2022, as he is interested in buying a side-business. If he withdraws the entire amount, what is the maximum amount that he can contribute to his TFSA on January 1, 2023? Do not forget to consider contribution room from previous years. (1 mark)
