Answer:

a. $7,505

b.$6,840

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

At the local ballpark, the team charges $5 for each ticket and expects to make $1,400 in concessions. the team must pay its play
Sphinxa [80]
To break even they must be able to sell 1,100 tickets during the event. 

The immediate cost is set at
$2,000 (player fees) + $1600 (worker fees) = $3,600

Assuming that fans would reach around 200 people that would be:
$3 X 200 =$600 (free bat costing)

Overall cost would be at: $3,600 + $600 = $4,200

To break even the computation will be as follows: 
2,500 tickets X $5 = $12,500 
$12,500 - $4,200 = $8,300 in earnings
