Ferdinand’s employer will match 50% of his $250 monthly contributions to his 401(k). This means that Ferdinand’s employer will put 50% of $250 = $125 into Ferdinand’s 401(k) account each month in addition to Ferdinand’s $250. What a swell benefit

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the given question is shown below:-

Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)

= $250 + $125

= $375  

1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r

Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)

= $347,272

2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years

= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years

= $120,000

3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years

= $125 × 12 Months × 40 Years

= $60,000

4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer

= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000

= $167,272

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
