Explanation:
a. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense
Using this formula
After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm A Marginal tax rate* Deductible Expense)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost = ($9,500 - ($21%*9500)
After-tax cost = ($9,500 - $1,995)
After-tax cost=$7,505
Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm A incurs the expense is $7,505
B. Computation for the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense
Using this formula
After-tax cost = Deductible Expense - (Firm Z Marginal tax rate*Deductible Expense)
Let plug in the formula
After-tax cost =$9,500 -(28%*$9500)
After-tax cost =($9,500 - $2,660 )
After-tax cost=$6,840
Therefore the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that Firm Z incurs the expense is $6,840
