Seiko’s current salary is $133,500. Her marginal tax rate is 32
percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new
auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for Idaho Office
Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells
her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer.
The new position pays only $123,000 per year, but it allows
employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of
$22,900. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In
an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers
her a $19,700 raise. Answer the following questions about this
analysis.
a. What is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply if it provides Seiko with the $19,700 increase in salary?
b-1. Financially, which offer is better for
Seiko on an after-tax basis?
Car dealer's offer
Current employer's offer
Both offers
b-2. By how much is the offer better for Seiko on
an after tax basis (Assume that Seiko is going to purchase the new
car whether she switches jobs or not.)
c. What before-tax salary would Seiko need to receive from Idaho Office Supply to make her financially indifferent (after taxes) between receiving additional salary from Idaho Office Supply and accepting a position at the auto dealership? (Round your intermediate computations to the nearest dollar amount.)
a | After tax cost |
$19700-$19700*32% | |
$19700-$6304 | |
$13396 | |
b-1 | Current employer's offer |
b-2 | current employer package |
$153200 * (1-.32) = $104176 | |
Car dealer package | |
$123000 * (1-.32) = $83640 | |
$83640+$22900 = $106540 | |
$106540-$104176 = $2364 | |
Offer is better by $2364 | |
c | Salary received = $156676 |
$2364/(1-.32) = $3476 | |
$133500+$19700+$3476 = $156676 | |
$156676(1-.32) = $106540 | |
