marginal tax rate is $24$ percent. She plans to withdraw the entire balance of the account in $20$ years, and she expects to

investments outside of her retirement accounts. For each of the following alternative scenarios, indicate how much more

or less Yuki will accumulate after taxes in $20$ years if she converts her traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. Be sure to include the
