Seiko's current salary is $87,500. 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 only $73,900 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $23,400. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit.
