c. Based on requirement a and b, should Hank send his client the bill in December or January?
a. What is the after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in December?
After tax income = Pre tax income 35000 - Tax ( 35000 * 32 % ) = 35000 - 11200 = $ 23800
b. What is the after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in January?
Tax ( 35000 * 37 % ) = 12950
Present value of tax = 12950 * PVIF ( 9 % , 1 year ) = 12950 * 0.917 = 11875
After tax income = Pre tax income 35000 - Tax ( 11875 ) = $ 23125
