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)

Formatting is a feature found in a lot of word processing software applications such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, etc., which is designed to avail end users the ability to apply specific formatting options such as cut, bold, italics, underline, etc., to texts based on certain defined criteria.
Basically, it is used for highlighting, emphasize, comparing or differentiating between data (information) stored in a text document.
In this scenario, Todd wants to be sure that the message about a special speaker attending their next meeting is conveyed to the members.
Therefore, he should use a lot of unique formatting such as italics or underlining in the newsletter to be sent out, so as to get their attention.
