Answer 1

D) $8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Jahwana makes an individual contribution of $6,000 to her 401 K account = $40,000 x 15% = $6,000

The corporation she works for contributes 5% of her gross income to Jahwana's 401 K account = $40,000 x 5% = $2,000

total contributions to 401 K account = $6,000 + $2,000 = $8,000
