Answer: a. $14,000

b. $14,106

c. January

2. $15,535

Explanation:

a. If Hank sends the bill in December.

Tax rate is 30% this year.

Amount is $20,000

After Tax Income = 20,000 * (1 - tax)

= 20,000 ( 1 - 30%)

= $14,000

b. If Hank pays Next year

Tax rate is 33%

After tax return rate of 12%

Amount is 20,000

Tax = 20,000 * 33%

= $6,600.

Because this is next year, the present value of the tax needs to be computed for better comparison.

With an after tax return of 12%, the PV will be,

= 6,600 * PV factor ( 12%, 1 period)

= 6,600 * 0.893

=  $5,894

The income therefore will be,

= $20,000 - 5,894

= $14,106

c. Hank should pay in January as he would make more income.

2. Tax rate is 25% next year and income is to be received next year.

Tax = 20,000 * 25%

= $5,000

PV of $5,000 = 5,000 * PV Factor (12%, 1 period)

= 5,000 * 0.893

= $4,465

After tax income = 20,000 - 4,465

= $15,535
