Explanation of Solution
Calculate NPV of salary received by Mrs. X.
Year 0 | Year 1 | Year 2 | NPV | |
Before-tax | $80,000 | $80,000 | $80,000 | |
Less: Tax cost | $(20,000) | $(32,000) | $(32,000) | |
After-tax cash flow | $60,000 | $48,000 | $48,000 | |
Multiply: Discount factor at 8% | - | × 0.926 | × 0 .857 | |
Present value | $60,000 | $44,448 | $41,136 | $145,584 |
Working note:
Calculate tax cost.
Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | |
Before-tax income | $80,000 | $80,000 | $80,000 |
Multiply: Marginal tax rate | × 0.25 | × 0 .40 | × 0 .40 |
Tax cost | $20,000 | $32,000 | $32,000 |
Hence, the NPV of salary received by Mrs. X is $145,584.
