Seiko's current salary is $$122,500.$ 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 $$109,800$

per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $$21,100.$ This discount qualifies as a

nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $$15,200$ raise.
