In the current year, Jill, age 35, received a job offer with two alternative compensation packages to choose from. The first pac

kage offers her a $90,000 annual salary with no qualified fringe benefits and requires her to pay $3,500 a year for parking and to purchase life insurance at a cost of $1,000. The second package offers an $80,000 annual salary, employer-provided health insurance, annual free parking (worth $320 per month), $200,000 of life insurance (purchasing on her own would have been $1,000 annually), and free flight benefits (she estimates that it will save her $5,000 per year). If Jill chooses the first package, she will purchase the health and life insurance benefits herself at a cost of $1,000 annually after taxes and spend another $5,000 in flights while traveling. Assume her marginal tax rate is 32 percent.
Required:
a. Which compensation package should she choose?
b. How much would she benefit in after-tax dollars by choosing this compensation package instead of the alternative package?
c. Assume the first package offers $100,000 salary with no qualified benefits instead of $91,400 salary and the other benefits and costs are the same. Which compensation package should she choose?
d. How much would she benefit in after-tax dollars by choosing this package?

Job offers:

                              First package:        Second package:

Annual salary =        $90,000                   $80,000

Parking fee                 (3,500)                        3,840 (free parking)

Life insurance             (1,470)                          1,470

Free flight benefits   (5,000)                         5,000

Net benefits            $80,030                     $90,310

Tax (32%)                   25,610                       28,899

After-tax income    $54,420                       $61,411

Difference $6,991 ($61,411 - $54,420)

Free flight benefits   (5,000)                         5,000

Net benefits            $90,030                     $90,310

Tax (32%)                   28,810                       28,899

After-tax income    $61,220                       $61,411

Difference $191 ($61,220 - $61,411)

zzz [600]

Answer:

b. $ 36,000

Explanation:

The fundamental accounting equation is

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders Equity

Per the data provided in the question regarding changes in account balances

$ 356,000 = $108,000 + (240,000+24,000)

$ 356,000 = $ 372,000

= - ($ 14,000)

Since the data provides that a dividend payment of $ 52,000 has been made, we have to add it to our differential balance to get the income for the year.

$ - 14,000 + $ 52,000  = $ 36,000
