Answer 1

SIMPLE emplyee savings plan, is a tax deferred retirement plan plan for small companies having less than 100 emplyees.

The employees make tax deferred contributions into the savings account annually ,the company may also make contribitions annually into the retirement savings account, a part of their salary generally 3% of their salary to the retirement savings account. in case the employee does not credit funds to their savings account , in these cases the employer is mandated to contributed 2% of the respective employee salary to the account.

the employer gets tax credit for the amount contributed to the employees account.

the correct option is A.

we cannot say, weather the savings will be adeqaute for the emplyees,as different employees will have different needs for retirement about which we are not aware of. so C is incorrect.

there is no such tedious paper work involved in this plan. so option B is incorrect. almost all retirement plans are portable, that it can be transferred if the employee leaves the company.
