Answer 1

Answer:

A. $500.00

Step-by-step explanation:

IRS popularly known as  Internal revenue service charges an IRS fee under the authority of the Federal Law and policy agencies. This implementation of IRS fee is to recuperate the cost of rendering a service to the masses.  

From the given information in the question:

Suppose you invest $15,000 at the age of 35 and agree to start receiving  payments at the age of 45.

At age 41, you decide you want to withdraw $5000  from your account.

Since the investor is still 41 years of age ; IRS will charge 10% of the withdrawal amount.

IRS fee = 10% of $5000

IRS fee = 0.1 × $5000

IRS fee = $500
