Ms. Prince wants to create a scholarship in honor of her parents at the law school from which she received her degree. She could endow the scholarship with $700,000 cash or with $700,000 worth of marketable securities with a cost basis of $420,000. Assume the taxable year is 2022.

Required:

If her AGI is $3.8 million, compute the after-tax cost of the two endowment options. Use Individual Tax Rate Schedules and Tax rates for capital gains and qualified dividends.

Note: Enter your answers in dollars not in millions of dollars.

After-tax cost a)cash b)securities

Hey Chegg expert! So, my professor gave me these tables to figure out some numbers, and he came up with $441,000 for the cash part and $322,500 for the securities part. Can you help me understand how he got the SECURITY PART? I'm a bit lost here. Thanks a bunch!

You now look at the following table:

Tax rates for capital gains and qualified dividends
