If a taxpayer's marginal tax rate is 33 percent,
what is the after-tax yield on a corporate bond
that pays 5 percent interest? If the average
marginal tax rate of all taxpayers is 50 per-
cent, will the taxpayer with the 33 percent
marginal tax rate prefer a corporate or a mu-
nicipal security? Assume equivalent safety and
maturity.
Show the tax benefit (per dollar invested) that exists on a municipal bond with a yield of 8U basis points (where one basis point is 0.01%, so that, for example, the yield would be 0.08%x45=3.60% for U=45) for an investor in the marginal 37% tax bracket.
U=12
7) Suppose an investor is considering a corporate bond with a 7.17% before-tax yield and a municipal bond with a 5.93% before-tax yield. At what marginal tax rate would the investor be indifferent between investing in the corporate and investing in the muni?

Instruction: Type ONLY your numerical answer in the unit of millionsarrow_forwardAt this point, you may be confused why calling part of your in- vestment debt or equity makes a difference. Let’s walk through an example and compute your post-tax returns. Suppose $2 million of your investment is structured as debt and the remaining $8 million is equity. What happens each year after the company is set up? Well, using the $4 million EBIT, the company will first pay $2 million 50% = $1 million interest to you (as a debt investor). Then, on the remaining $4 $1 = $3 million of EBIT, the company pays corporate taxes of $3 20% = $0.6 million and is left with $2.4 million, which will be paid out to you (the equity holder) as dividend. Income Statement EBIT 4 -Interest expense 1 -Corporate taxes .6 = Net income of 2.4 million Therefore, the total returns to you (as an investor) is $1 million in interest and $2.4 million in dividends, which is a total of $3.4 million.4 Uncle Sam collected $0.6 million.
