Sliva [168]

Answer:

I used the 2020 standard deduction and income tax brackets to calculate the answer.

a. What is the amount of Rick’s after-tax compensation (ignore payroll taxes) and his income tax liability?

Rick's gross income $141,800

- standard deduction $12,400

taxable income $129,400

income taxes = (10% x $9,875) + (12% x $30,250) + (22% x $45,400) + (24% x $43,875) = $25,135.50

after tax income = $141,800 - $25,135.50 = $116,664.50

b. Suppose Rick receives a competing job offer of $102,500 in cash compensation and nontaxable (excluded) benefits worth $4,900.

Rick's gross income $102,500

- standard deduction $12,400

taxable income $90,100

income taxes = (10% x $9,875) + (12% x $30,250) + (22% x $45,400) + (24% x $4,575) = $15,703.50

after tax income = $102,500 - $15,703.50 + $4,900 = $91,696.50
