Irene has made Sara an offer on the purchase of a capital asset. Irene will pay (1) $200,000 cash or (2) $50,000 cash and a 6% installment note for $150,000 guaranteed by City Bank of New York. If Sara sells for $200,000 cash, she will invest the after-tax proceeds in certificates of deposit yielding 6% interest. Sara’s cost of the asset is $25,000. Why would Sara prefer the installment sale?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Irene would prefer the instalment sale because she can defer the payment of tax until a future date. On the other hand, if she accept the cash sale, she would have to pay the tax immediately. The amount invested in certificate of deposit would be after tax.

Thus the value of an instalment payment would be greater than the value of a cash payment
