Lily’s RRSP contribution room is reduced by her DCPP contributions. Her total income for Year 2 was $125,000, and she contributed 5% ($6,250) to the DCPP, matched by the employer, for a total of $12,500. The Pension Adjustment (PA) for her DCPP contribution would be $12,500, which reduces her RRSP contribution room.

Calculation:

RRSP limit based on previous year’s income (18% of $120,000): $21,600

PA reduction: $12,500

Remaining RRSP contribution room for Year 2: $21,600 - $12,500 = $9,100

Including her unused contribution room: $9,100 + $15,000 = $24,100

So, Lily can contribute $24,600 to her RRSP in Year 2​.

Resets allow the guaranteed amount of a segregated fund contract to be adjusted upward to lock in market gains. This feature is highly attractive for risk-tolerant investors like Ulysses because it secures gains without sacrificing the original guarantee.

Exact Extract:

"Resetting the maturity and death benefit guarantees upward allows investors to lock in market gains, which can appeal to those investing in volatile, high-risk sectors."

A spousal RRSP is beneficial for couples with differing income levels as it allows for income splitting during retirement. This is advantageous because it enables the higher-income spouse to contribute to the RRSP of the lower-income spouse. When the funds are eventually withdrawn during retirement, they are taxed at the lower-income spouse’s rate, potentially reducing the couple’s overall tax burden. This aligns with the LLQP guideline on income splitting as a tax minimization strategy​.

Option B is incorrect because the contributions to a spousal RRSP reduce the contribution room of the contributing spouse, not the recipient. Option C is technically accurate but does not directly address the primary advantage of a spousal RRSP in terms of tax planning, and Option D is correct regarding extending tax benefits but does not directly highlight the immediate benefit of income splitting for the couple.
