Mini-Case B: (5.5 marks)

Daniela has simply transferred the amounts to both her Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) based on what her tax advisor recommends. Daniela has always contributed the maximum to both her RRSP and TFSA on January 1^st each year. She however does not understand how either the RRSP or TFSA work. She has therefore asked you to work out a few scenarios to help her better understand. (5.5 marks)
