S2000 plss assist- IPS confusion!

I came across another question, where they asked pre tax return. This time I stuck to after tax salary - after tax expense… however this time around they did it pre tax, and obviously our final answers too didnt match… whats the catch here…

I’ll look at it Monday afternoon if I have a chance; I’m swamped with last-minute tutoring this week.

ok thanks, great if you could assist with this

From what I’ve seen in the exams is if they ask for after-tax have all your inputs after tax. If they ask for pre-tax, adjust all you inputs to pre-tax. I don’t think I remeber any answers that adjusted the return from after-tax to pre-tax.

they did the reverse here,
