401(k)

(noun)

401(k) are "defined contribution plans" with annual contributions limited (currently to $17,000). Contributions are "tax-deferred" in that they are deducted from paychecks before taxes and then taxed when a withdrawal is made from the 401(k) account. Depending on the employer's program, a portion of the employee's contribution may be matched by the employer.

Examples of 401(k) in the following topics:

  • Retirements

    • When retiring prior to age 59½, there is a 10 percent IRS penalty on withdrawals from a retirement plan like a 401(k) plan or a Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
    • In addition to traditional retirement benefits from 401(k)s or IRAs, military personnel are eligible for veterans benefits from things such as the G.I.
  • Fringe Benefits

    • Some function as tax shelters (for example, flexible spending accounts, 401(k),and 403 (b)).
  • Contractual Saving

    • A recent trend in pension funds allows employees to manage their own pension plans, which are the 401(k) plans.The 401(k) refers to a section of law in the Internal Revenue Service's regulations, and the benefit of this pension plan is the employee can take his pension plan with him when he switches employers.However, the 401(k) has one risk.Amount of money a person has accumulated at retirement depends upon how much money he invested in the plan and how well the investments have done.
  • Standard Benefits

    • Retirement benefit plans (pension, 401(k), 403(b)) - Employees are entitled to various retirement-related benefits such as long-term investments, pensions, and other savings for retirement age.
  • The Process of Incorporation

    • Retirement funds: Retirement funds and qualified retirements plans, such as a 401(k), may be established more easily.
  • Series Solutions

    • After substituting the power series form, recurrence relations for $A_k$ is obtained, which can be used to reconstruct $f$.
    • $\displaystyle{f= \sum_{k=0}^\infty A_kz^k \ f'= \sum_{k=0}^\infty kA_kz^{k-1} \ f''= \sum_{k=0}^\infty k(k-1)A_kz^{k-2}}$
    • $\begin{aligned} & {} \sum_{k=0}^\infty k(k-1)A_kz^{k-2}-2z \sum_{k=0}^\infty kA_kz^{k-1}+ \sum_{k=0}^\infty A_kz^k=0 \\ & = \sum_{k=0}^\infty k(k-1)A_kz^{k-2}- \sum_{k=0}^\infty 2kA_kz^k+ \sum_{k=0}^\infty A_kz^k \end{aligned}$
    • $\begin{aligned} & = \sum_{k+2=0}^\infty (k+2)((k+2)-1)A_{k+2}z^{(k+2)-2}- \sum_{k=0}^\infty 2kA_kz^k+ \sum_{k=0}^\infty A_kz^k \\ & = \sum_{k=0}^\infty (k+2)(k+1)A_{k+2}z^k- \sum_{k=0}^\infty 2kA_kz^k+ \sum_{k=0}^\infty A_kz^k \\ & = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \left((k+2)(k+1)A_{k+2}+(-2k+1)A_k \right)z^k \end{aligned}$
    • We can rearrange this to get a recurrence relation for $A_{k+2}$:

  • Repeated Scattering with Low Optical Depth

    • $\displaystyle A \equiv \frac{E_f}{E_i} \sim \frac{4}{3} \langle \gamma^2 \rangle = 16 \left ( \frac{kT}{mc^2} \right )^2.$
    • The probability that a photon will scatter as it passes through a medium is simply $\tau_{es}$ if the optical depth is low, and the probability that it will undergo $k$ scatterings $p_k \sim \tau_{es}^k$ and its energy after $k$ scatterings is $E_k=A^k E_i$, so we have
    • $\displaystyle I(E_k) = I(E_i) \exp \left ( \frac{\ln\tau_{es} \ln\frac{E_k}{E_i}}{\ln A} \right ) = I(E_i) \left ( \frac{E_k}{E_i} \right )^{-\alpha}$
    • $\displaystyle P = \int_{E_i}^{A^{1/2}mc^2} I(E_k) dE_k = I(E_i) E_i \left [ \int_1^{A^{1/2} mc^2/E_i} x^{-\alpha} dx \right ].$
    • $\displaystyle A \tau_{es} \approx 16 \left ( \frac{kT}{mc^2} \right )^2.
  • Matrices for two degrees of freedom

    • $m_1 {\ddot{x}_1} + k_1 x_1 + k_2 (x_1 - x_2) = 0$
    • $m_2 {\ddot{x}_2} + k_3 x_2 + k_2 (x_2 - x_1) = 0. $
    • $\displaystyle{ K = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} k_1 + k_2 & -k_2 \\ -k_2 & k_2+k_3 \\ \end{array} \right] }$
    • $\displaystyle{M^{-1} K = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} \frac{k_1 + k_2}{m_1} & \frac{-k_2}{m_1} \\ \frac{-k_2}{m_2} & \frac{k_2+k_3}{m_2} \end{array} \right]. }$
    • As another example, let's suppose that all the masses are the same and that $k_1 = k_3 = k$ .
