She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia.

Because Ms. Zelda is a resident of State A, she wouldn't pay State A's 8.5 percent personal income tax on the State A bond interest, but she would pay this tax on the State R bond interest. Ms. Zelda can deduct any state tax payments in the computation of her federal taxable income, and her federal marginal rate is 32 percent. Required: a.
