Answer:

a. $44,200

b. $44,684

Explanation:

To calculate after-tax costs we just need to deduct the tax saving amount from the pre-tax amount. The tax saving amount can be calculated bt multiplying the pre-tax amount into the tax rate

Requirement A (If she pays the $65,000 in December)

After-tax cost = Pre tax cost - PV of tax saving

After-tax cost = 65,000 - 20,800

After-tax cost = $44,200

working

Tax saving = $65,000 x 32%

Tax saving =  $20,800

Requirement B  (If she pays the $65,000 in January)

After tax cost = $65,000 - $20,315

After tax cost = $44,684

working

Tax saving = $65,000 x 35%

Tax saving = $22,750

Pv of tax saving = $22,750 x 0.893

Pv of tax saving = $20,316
