    The after-tax cost is $23,940

    Explanation:

    For computing the after-tax cost, first we have to compute the present value which is shown below:

    Present value = Bill payment * marginal tax rate

    = $38,000 * 37%

    = $14,060

    So, after tax value would equal to

    = Bill payment or Pre tax value - Present value

    = $38,000 - $14,060

    = $23,940
