Suppose your friend is being considered for a promotion at work. The promotion is expected to provide your friend an extra 10,000 dollars per year in salary. However, your friend does not want the promotion, because he just looked at his tax return and saw that if he were to earn just 5000 more per year in taxable income, it will push him into a higher tax backet. What should you tell you friend? 1) You are an idiot. Never turn down money, because tax brackets are applied  2) You should arrange for the promotion to only increase the salary by 5000 3) The decision is a logical application of NPV concepts  4) None of these are correct
