Chapter 14 Retirement Savings Planning Review questions
1.
What is YBE? What are pensionable earnings? What is the YMPE?
The year’s basic exemption (YBE) is the first $3500 of annual income. Pensionable earn-
ings refers to the amount of income you earn between the YBE and the year’s maximum
pensionable earnings (YMPE). The year’s maximum pensionable earnings (YMPE) is the
upper limit of your earnings that is subject to CPP contributions.
2.
What is a defined contribution pension plan? In a DCPP, who makes the investment deci-
sions?
Defined-contribution pension plans are employer-sponsored retirement plans where the
contribution rate, not the benefit amount, is based on a specific formula. The employee
can decide how you want the money to be invested and whether to change your invest-
ments over time.
3.
What is a TFSA? What are the similarities and differences between RRSPs and TFSAs?
A TFSA is a registered investment account that allows you to purchase investments, with
after-tax dollars, without attracting any tax payable on your investment growth. Similar to
RRSPs, unused contributions can be carried forward to the next year and the growth on
contributions is tax deferred. Unlike RRSPs, contributions into a TFSA account are not
tax deductible, withdrawals from a TFSA are tax-free, and when you make a withdrawal
one year, you can recontribute the money you withdrew the following year. With RRSPs,
once you make a withdrawal, you cannot make up for it by recontributing the amount
withdrawn at a later date, unless you are making the re-contribution to pay back an HBP
or LLP withdrawal.
4.
What is a locked-in retirement account (LIRA)?
A locked-in retirement account (LIRA), also known as a locked-in RRSP in some juris-
dictions, is a private pension plan that is created when an individual transfers vested
money from an employer-sponsored pension plan. The main purpose of a LIRA is to pro-
vide an opportunity for employees who leave a company pension plan to take the value of
their pension plan assets with them. Individuals who leave most provincially regulated
pension plans can transfer their pension assets to a LIRA. Individuals who leave a feder-
ally regulated pension plan and some provincially regulated pension plans can transfer
their pension assets to a LRSP.
Question 1
Collette is an employee of Dynamex Industries Inc. and earned $53 000 in 2020. How much will her employer deduct in CPP contributions based on an employee contribution rate of 5.25%? The
YMPE and YBE for 2017 are $58 700 and $3500, respectively.
Her employer will deduct $2,598.75 in CPP contributions. Calculated as:
= (The lower of annual income or YMPE − YBE) × 5.25 percent
= ($53 000 − $3,500) × 5.25 percent = $2,598.75
Question 2
Lloyd and Jean have no retirement plan at work, but they contribute a total of $4000 each year to
an RRSP. They are in a 30% marginal tax bracket. What tax savings will they realize for there contributions annually?
Lloyd and Jean will each save $1,200 in taxes: $4,000 × 30% = $1,200 Question 3
In need of extra cash, Troy and Lilly decide to withdraw $8000 from their RRSP. They are in a 30% marginal tax bracket. What will the tax consequences of this withdrawal be?
Troy and Lilly will have to pay ordinary income taxes of $2,400 on the withdrawal, calculated as: Ordinary income tax = $8,000 × 30% = $2,400

Question # 3:
Suppose that your retirement benefits during your first year of retirement are $50000. Assume that this
amount is just enough to meet your cost of living during the first year. However, your cost of living is
expected to increase at an annual rate of 5% due to inflation. Suppose you do not expect to receive any
cost-of-living adjustment in your retirement pension. Then some of your future cost of living has to
come from savings other than retirement pension. If your savings account earns 7% interest a year,
how much should you set aside in order to meet this future increase in the cost of living over 25 years?
