Emma Young, a 47-year-old single mother of two daughters, ages 17 and 20, recently sold a business for $5.5 million net of taxes and put the proceeds into a money market account. Her other assets include a tax-deferred retirement account worth $3.0 million, a $500,000 after-tax account designated for her daughters’ education, a $400,000 after-tax account for unexpected needs, and her home, which she owns outright.
Her living expenses are fully covered by her job. Young wants to retire in 15 years and to fund her retirement from existing assets. An orphan at eight who experienced childhood financial hardships, she places a high priority on retirement security and wants to avoid losing money in any of her three accounts.
Young decides to accept the retirement offer. Having very low liquidity needs, she wants to save part of the retirement payout for unforeseen costs that might occur more than a decade in the future. The broker’s view on long term stock market prospects is positive and recommends additional equity investment.
Determine which of Young’s accounts (education, retirement, reallocated money market, or unexpected needs) is best suited for implementing the broker’s recommendation.

解释:
Reallocated Money market is best suited for implementing the broker’s recommendation. Reallocated Money market is taxable and Young having very low liquidity needs, she wants to save part of the retirement payout for unforeseen costs that might occur more than a decade in the future. The broker’s view on long term stock market prospects is positive and recommends additional equity investment. Allocating equity into the reallocated money market can help Young to save tax cost. Because equity has capital gain which can be deferred to the time when he plan to withdraw after the retirement. His income would be decreased and the tax base is low. Also equity can provide tax loss harvesting. It can help Young for further cost saving.
