    How much must Icon allow Emily to diversify this year?

    The answer is $250,000

    Explanation:

    After attaining the age of 55 years and participating already for ten years in the ESOP. Emily will be allowed to diversify the value equal to 25% of investments. 50% of the investment is allowed to be diversified if it is final year of participation but in the present case it is not the final year before the retirement of the Emily so she will not be allowed 50% diversification and only up to 25% is allowed on which the percentage of investment already diversified in previous years will also be reduced. Since here in the past no amount has been diversified by Emily so she will be allowed 25 % of investment to diversify in the current year which comes to $250,000 ($1,000,000 * 25%). Thus the answer is $250,000.
