a. What amount will Telly receive from the Blue Fund IRA?
b. What amount must Telly contribute to the Green Fund IRA to avoid having taxable income and penalties for early withdrawal?
c. When is the last day Telly can roll over the amount received into the Green Fund IRA and avoid taxation in the current year, assuming no unusual circumstances?
d. What amount would Telly receive if the distribution were from his employer's qualified retirement plan?
