Maria was planning to paint the interior of her apartment
over a three-day weekend . Her employer asked her to work all three days and
will pay her $600 overtime. She called a professiona l painter who offered to
do the job for $500. He is willing to use the paint she has already purchased.
Maria is in the 32 % tax bracket. Will she be better off financia lly to work
the overtime and pay the painter or to turn down the overtime and do the work
herself? What other factors should she consider?
