Mr. Kato, who has a 35 percent marginal tax rate, must decide between two investment opportunities, both of which require a $50,000 initial cash outlay in year 0. Investment 1 will yield $8,000 before-tax cash flow in years 1, 2, and 3. This cash represents ordinary taxable income. In year 3, Mr. Kato can liquidate the investment and recover his $50,000 cash outlay. He must pay a nondeductible $200 annual fee (in years 1, 2, and 3) to maintain Investment 1.
Investment 2 will not yield any before-tax cash flow during the period over which Mr. Kato will hold the investment. In year 3, he can sell Investment 2 for $75,000 cash. His $25,000 profit on the sale will be capital gain taxed at 15 percent. Assume a 6 percent discount rate. Use Appendix A and Appendix B.
Required:
Calculate net present value of Investment 2
The Wilmoths plan to purchase a house but want to determine the after-tax cost of financing its purchase. Given their projected taxable income, the Wilmoths are in the 24% Federal income tax bracket and the 8% state income tax bracket (i.e., an aggregate marginal tax bracket of 32%). Assume that the Wilmoths will benefit from itemizing their deductions for both Federal and state purposes. The total cash outlay during the first year of ownership will be $25,200 ($2,520 principal payments, $22,680 qualified residence interest payments).
If required, round your interim calculation to nearest dollar.
As a result, the annual after-tax cost of financing the purchase of the home will be $

- Floyd, a cash basis taxpayer, has received an offer to purchase his land. The cash basis buyer will pay him either 100,000 at closing or 50,000 at closing and 56,000 two years after the date of closing. If Floyd recognizes the entire gain in the current year, his marginal tax rate will be 25% (combined Federal and state rates). However, if he spreads the gain over the two years, his combined marginal tax rate on the gain will be only 20%. Floyd does not consider the buyer a credit risk, and he understands that shifting the gain to next year with an installment sale will save taxes. Still, he realizes that the deferred payment will, in effect, earn only 6,000 for waiting two years for the other 50,000. Floyd believes he can earn a 10% before-tax rate of return on his after-tax cash. Floyds adjusted basis for the land is 25,000, the buyer is also a cash basis taxpayer, and the short-term Federal rate is 4%. Floyd has asked you to evaluate the two alternatives on an after-tax basis.arrow_forwardThis year Lloyd, a single taxpayer, estimates that his tax liability will be $10,000.
