Will have been / will be / is taken care of
Dear Users,
Here's a quote from a certain TV show:
A: So sometime next week?
B: I hope it's taken care of by then.
I'm curious when one would need to use will be taken care of or will have been taken care of. I usually see the future perfect tense used with by + time phrase but I also hear sentences such as It will be done by the end of next week so it's all a bit confusing.
Thanks
