Rich,an individual investor,lives in a land of no taxation and receive a $10,000 bonus.He invests this amount in a bond that pays interest of 4% per year and holds the bond for 5 years,reinvesting the interest annually at the same 4% return.At the end of 5 years the $10,000 original investment accumulates to

Investments conforming to the Current Model provide no deferral advantages because earnings are taxed currently.

A taxpayer in the 24% marginal tax bracket invests $1,000 of after-tax dollars at 10% interest before taxes.At the end of year one,the taxpayer will have accumulated after-tax dollars of $1,076.

In the Pension Model,the initial investment is deductible or excludible from gross income,and investment earnings are taxed currently.

Vidya can invest $5,000 of after-tax dollars (AT$)directly in a taxable bond outside an IRA,or he can contribute the $5,000 to a nondeductible IRA and invest in the same bond through the IRA vehicle.In either case,the bond yields an annual 5% before-tax rate of return (BTROR).Vidya's marginal tax rate is 15%,and he expects it to remain so for the entire investment horizon of 20 years.What is the after-tax accumulation for the "bond inside the IRA" after 20 years?
