Question:
Eagle Life Insurance Company pays its employees $.30 per mile for driving their personal automobiles to and from work. The company reimburses each employee who rides the bus $100 a month for the cost of a pass. Tom, in his Mazda 2-seat Roadster, collected $100 for his automobile mileage, and Mason received $100 as reimbursement for the cost of a bus pass.
a. What are the effects of the $100 reimbursement on Tom's and Mason's gross income?
b. Assume that Tom and Mason are in the 24% marginal tax bracket and the actual before-tax cost for Tom to drive to and from work is $0.30 per mile. What are Tom's and Mason's after-tax costs of commuting to and from work?
Explanation:
a.
For Tom:
He is required to include the $100 in gross income therefore, he would have to pay after-tax cost on the reimbursement.
For Mason:
He is not required to include the $100 in gross income due to qualified transportation fringe.
b.
For Tom:
Marginal tax = 24%
The after-tax cost of commuting = 0.24*$100 = $24
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
For Mason:
The after-tax cost of commuting = $0
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
