The question is incomplete. However, it is about the calculation of after-tax cost of payment

Answer:

After-tax cost = payment * (1-0.37)

Explanation:

The after-tax cost is the net cost after the deduction of the amount of tax from the actual payment. In most cases, the value of the tax deduction is determined by multiplying the marginal tax rate with the payment. Then, the magnitude of the after-tax cost can be estimated by subtracting the payment from the tax deduction.
