Suggested Answer: D

If Ms. Antsy is 53 years old and wants to invest in something that will allow her to begin making immediate withdraws and continue to make withdrawals until she turns 62 , you should recommend none of the choices provided. They are all annuities, and Ms. Antsy will be subject to a 10% penalty for withdrawing any amount prior to turning 59 .

Ha! Ms. Fortune died at 60, what a bummer. At least her spouse gets to inherit the IRA, that's a silver lining. I'm going with C, it just makes the most sense to me.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Can the spouse really not make contributions to the inherited IRA? That seems a bit unfair. Oh well, I'll go with C just to be safe.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is C. Option I and III only are available to the spouse, as they can withdraw the entire balance or roll it into their own IRA. Continuing to contribute to the deceased's IRA doesn't seem right.
