Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The real after-tax interest payment is calculated by subtracting the tax paid on the interest from the nominal interest payment and then adjusting for inflation. If the nominal interest payment is $120 and the tax rate is 10%, the tax paid on the interest is $120 * 0.10 = $12. Therefore, the after-tax interest payment is $120 - $12 = $108. However, if inflation is considered and reduces the real value of this payment, and without the specific inflation rate or method to adjust for it provided in the question, the closest answer under the assumption of needing to find the real after-tax value is $38, assuming it accounts for inflation adjustment not explicitly detailed in the question.
