Answer: $5,000

Explanation:

Per the requirements of qualified plans that permit loans, the maximum amount that an individual can withdraw is whichever is lesser between $50,000 and 50% of their Vested Account Balance.

Vance in this scenario has a vested account balance of $40,000.

50% of that would be $20,000.

That means that he can be loaned $20,000. However, he already has an outstanding loan balance that must be accounted for of 15,000.

Subtracting those figures we have,

= 20,000 - 15,000

= $5,000

The maximum loan that Vance can take from the qualified plan is $5,000
