Alton is 60-years-old and plans to fully retire in ten years. He has contributed to a traditional IRA for several years, and it now has a $150,000 balance. All of his contributions were deductible.

The money market account earns a 5% after-tax rate of return. The IRA earns an 8% before-tax rate of return. Assume Alton's marginal tax rate is currently, and will remain at, 20%. He plans to withdraw the full balance from the IRA in ten years to buy a new house. Calculate the after-tax accumulation assuming he (1) retains the existing traditional IRA and (2) converts to the Roth IRA.
