Yes. They will charge you a percentage every year you are invested with them (and it will be taken directly out of your account). If you sign up the receive paperless statements, you can have some fees waived. If your using your employer's 401k option through Prudential, then your employer will most likely be paying for the operating costs.
It depends on what you invest in in your 401(k). If you invest in stocks, their return typically outpaces inflation. Bonds return less, and so it's harder to outpace inflation. If you invest in cash, such as in a money market fund, then you won't outpace inflation.
Generally, to roll over a 401k plan from your old employer to your new employer or to an IRA account doesn't cost anything. Some companies may charge a nominal processing fee but that is the exception, not the norm.
You can roll over a 401k account into your IRA account. This is cost effective and relatively easy.

It depends on how much you are wanting to invest. You can invest anywhere from a couple hundred dollars to a thousand. It really depends on what you feel like investing.
If you have a 401k, you probably already know that it is a cost-effctive way to save for your retirement. It allows you to have the money that you put into the plan invested by the company. This money will then gain interest, which can be applied to your plan when you decide to retire. A 401k helps you save by reminding you to put away some of what you make, and it also gives you more money than you put in when you decide to withdraw it. However, there are some important things that you should know about withdrawing from a 401k so that you can make good financial decisions. First of all, the amount that you can put into a 401k is set at a certain level. Right now, that number is $17,000, but it could change in the future. No matter what the maximum investment is, though, it can impact whether or not you want to withdraw before you retire. If you take the money out and then you start to make more, you may not be able to reinvest it fast enough to replace everything that you took out and to put in the amount that you want to from your current earnings. You could end up with less than you desired for retirement. On top of that, you should know that the money that you put into the plan was not taxed when you deposited it. This allowed you to put in a higher percentage of your paycheck. You never paid a cent in taxes on anything that was withheld. While this does allow you to make more in the stock market, it also allows the government to make more in taxes. The money will be taxed when you withdraw it. Do not withdraw unless you are willing to pay those taxes. As you can see, a 401k can be a little confusing if you have never dealt with one before. Your best bet is to invest as much as you can afford to invest. Do not take anything out of the account until you are actually ready to retire.
It depends on the situation. Sometimes it will cost you nothing to switch it over. Other times, the company will charge you a small fee to do it.
it is the amount that you initially invest. Plus and amount it costs you to invest it. Or the amount that you receive when someone leaves you an amount as a beneficiary.
Most companies will allow you to leave your 401k plan with them as long as the balance is over five thousand. If the balance is lower than that they will most likely return it to you as a check. Rolling your 401k will usually cost you a 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you cash your 401k you will get a penalty plus have to pay a huge amount of taxes to the IRS. So consider all options before making the leap to switch companies.
