Part A
Tax savings = 180000*21% = 37800
After tax cost of interest = 180000-37800 =$142200
Part B
Tax cost = 180000*21% = 37800
After tax earnings = 180000-37800 =$142200
Part C
Tax cost = 180000*37% = 66600
After tax earnings = 180000-66600 =$113400
Part E
Tax cost = 180000*(1-65%)*21% = 13230
After tax earnings = 180000-13230 =$166770
Part F
Tax cost = 180000*15% = 27000
After tax earnings = 180000-27000 =$153000
