Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
There are special saving plans that can be used by people to have enough money after their retirement. These plans are as discussed below:
1. Pension plans: These are plans that a company provides for their workers after their retirement. Most common pension plan is 401(k) in which a specific amount from the paycheck of an individual is withheld with the company and the company provides that amount. This plan is helpful for saving taxes.
2. Keogh plan: This is a retirement plan for self-employed individuals. This plan allows to save maximum 15% of amount of income. This amount is deducted from the yearly taxable income of a person.
3. Individual Retirement Account (IRA): This is also a type of retirement plan where a person who earns less than $30,000 can contribute upto $4,000. This amount is deducted from the contributions from the taxable income.
4. Roth IRA: The new form of Individual Retirement Account is Roth IRA. This is a private retirement plan in which income is taxed before it is saved. Interest is not taxed on the income when it is used after retirement.
These are some special plans in which an individual working with a company or self-employed can save money for after retirement purpose. To lower the risk, it is suggested that an individual should invest in different type of investments. If one investment fails, return can be reaped from another. The strategy of investing in different plans is termed as diversification by financial planners. One of the example of diversification is mutual funds.

- Title: Does the educational performance depend on its literacy rate and government spending over the last 10 years? In the introduction, there are four things to include:a) Clearly state your research topic follows by country’s background in terms of (population density; male/female ratio; and identify the problem leading up to the study of it, such as government spending and adult literacy rate. How does the US perform compared to other countries.b) State the research question that you wish to resolve: Does the US economic performance depend on its government spending on education and the literacy rate over the last 10 years. Define performance (Y) as the average income per capita, an indicator of the country’s economy growing over time. For example, an increase in government spending leads to higher literacy rates and subsequently higher productivity in the economy. Also, mention that you will use a sample size of 10 years of secondary data from the existing literature,…arrow_forwardTitle: Does the educational performance depend on its literacy rate and government spending over the last 10 years?

BY VIRGINIA POSTREL WOULD you rather have $1,000 for sure or a 90 percent chance of $5,000? A guaranteed $1,000 or a 75 percent chance of $4,000? In economic theory, questions like these have no right or wrong answers. Even if a gamble is mathematically more valuable a 75 percent chance of $4,000 has an expected value of $3,000, for instance someone may still prefer a sure thing. People have different tastes for risk, just as they have different tastes for ice cream or paint colors. The same is true for waiting: Would you rather have $400 now or $100 every year for 10 years?
