Answer:

a. $99 560     b. $66900 c. option a

Explanation:

Rick deducts on a standard deduction which lowers his income by one fixed amount.

Ricks gross income $131000. He has no one else except himself so no other deductions besides tax.

(a) After tax compensation = Gross income – Deductions(tax)

                                          = $131000 - $131000*24%

The tax percentage is taken from the tax table so rick earns between the tax brackets $84201 to $160725 as we are told he is also single.

                                            =$131000 - $31440

                                             =$99 560 is Ricks after tax compensation or income.

(b) After tax compensation = Gross Income – Deductions(tax) + Benefits

                                             =$80 0000 - $80000*22% +$4500

                                             =$66900 will be Ricks after tax compensation for the other option.

The tax percentage of 22% is taken from the tax schedule on the tax brackets of $39476 to $84200 as the option contains $80000 which rick can potentially earn if he chooses this option.

(C) Rick should take the $131 000 option which is the option calculated first as it has a higher take home pay than the second option with benefits so he can be more satisfied as the bottom option for $80000 charges more tax at a lower amount the tax amounts are much closer in percentages but their difference is greater as it is approximately $51000 so he will benefit more on the first option than the second option.
