An investor is in the 28 percent federal tax bracket and pays a 9 percent state tax rate and 4 percent in local income taxes. For this investor a municipal bond paying 6 percent interest is equivalent to a corporate bond paying interest.

Corporate bond pay = 10.169%

Explanation:

Given:

Federal tax = 28%

State tax = 9%

Local income tax = 4%

Municipal bond pay = 6% = 0.06

Corporate bond pay = ?

Computation of Corporate bond pay :

Total taxes rate = 28% + 9% + 4%

Total taxes rate = 41%  = 0.41

Corporate bond pay = Municipal bond pay / (1-total tax rate)

Corporate bond pay = 0.06 / (1-0.41)

Corporate bond pay = 0.06 / (.59)

Corporate bond pay = 0.10169

Corporate bond pay = 10.169%
