Use the following equation to calculate the before-tax rate of return:
20,000 =1000(P/A, i,4) +500(P/ G,i,4) +20,OOO(Pj F, i, 4)
Tryi=8%:
20,000 #=1000(3.312) + 500(4.650) + 20,000(0.7350)
#=3312 + 2325 + 14,700 = 20,337
Sinceiis too low, tryi=10%:
20,000 #=1000(3.170) + 500(4.378) + 20,000(0.6830)
#=3170 + 2189 + 13,660 = 19,019
(
20,337- 20,000
Before-tax rate of return =8% + 2% 20,337 - 19,019.' )=8.5%
For a before-tax cash flow gradie!lt of $500, the resulting after-tax cash flow gradient is
(1 - 0.39)(500)=$305..
20,000=61O(Pj A, i,4) +305(P jG, i,4)+.20,000(P/F, i, 4)
Tryi=5%:
20,000 *610(3.546) + 305(5.103) + 20,000(0.8227) #=20, 173
