A customer, age 60, has a fixed annuity contract with a value of $16,000. The cost basis in the contract is $10,000. If the customer withdraws $5,000 and the IRS taxes distributions on a LIFO basis, the tax consequence of a withdrawal will be:

$5,000 taxable

Explanation:

In this scenario, the tax consequence of withdrawal will be $5,000 taxable. This is because annuity contract contributions are not tax-deductible, meaning that the original contribution of $10,000 has already been taxed. Therefore in this situation all $5,000 will be taxable, luckily since the individual is over the age of 59 1/2 then the distribution is not subjected to a 10% penalty tax for premature distribution.

this conflict is person vs. society

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.
