Antonio would like to replace his golf clubs with a custom-measured set. A local sporting goods megastore is advertising custom clubs for $570, including a new bag. In-store financing is available at 2.98 percent, or he can choose not to renew his $300 certificate of deposit (CD), which just matured. The advertised CD renewal rate is 2.17 percent. Antonio knows the in-store financing costs would not affect his taxes, but he knows he'll pay taxes (25 percent federal and 5.75 percent state) on the CD interest earnings. Should he cash the CD or use the in-store financing? Why?

CD rate is 2.17% before taxes.

Total tax percentage = 25% + 5.75% = 30.75%

After tax rate of CD = 2.17%(1 - .3075) = 1.5027%

Since after tax rate of CD is less than 5.38%, he should cash in the CD to pay for the golf clubs rather than use the store financing

Explanation:

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=

the assumption the narrator makes in this excerpt is that the messages he heards were going to hurt the narrator's mom; the narrator just springs in to action. the narrator doesn't specify in this excerpt why he believes that the messages present a problem that requires protection.
