Between the two investment plans listed below, which will have the greatest future value and by what amount? Round all answers to the nearest cent.

To determine the future value for the 401(k), we need to determine the amount contributed annually. It is stated that the amount the employee contributes to the fund is 9% of $45,624. $45,624(0.09) = $4,106.16 The employer contributes a maximum of 3% of the employee contribution. Therefore: $45,624(0.03) = $1368.72. Therefore, the total annual contribution is $5,474.88, giving a future value of $196,302.40. For the Roth IRA, the monthly contributions are $352.45 giving a future value of $152,636.09. Therefore, the 401(k) has a greater future value by $43,666.31.
