He will use a single life expectancy. What amount must Mark take as a distribution from the pension plan no later than April 1, 2018?

Answer 1

$13,496.93

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of 2017, plan had a balance of 220,000

Life expectancy factor at the age of 71 is 16.3 as per single life Expectancy table

So, Distribution amount = $220,000 / 16.3

= 13496.93251533742

= $13,496.93

So, the amount Mark must take as a distribution from the pension plan no later than April 1, 2018 is $13,496.93
