First, let's calculate 8% of Latasia's salary to find the limit for the company match.
1. **Calculate 8% of Latasia's salary:**
\[
8\% \text{ of } 66,410 = 0.08 \times 66,410 = 5,312.80
\]
2. **Calculate Latasia's contribution at 10%:**
\[
10\% \text{ of } 66,410 = 0.10 \times 66,410 = 6,641.00
\]
Since Latasia contributes 10% ($6,641.00), which is above the 8% limit ($5,312.80), the company will match only up to 8% of her salary.
3. **Calculate the company match:**
The company matches 50% of her contribution up to the 8% limit.
\[
\text{Company Match} = 0.50 \times 5,312.80 = 2,656.40
\]
Thus, the amount the company contributes to her 401K is **$2,656.40**.
The answer is **$2,656.40**.
