You decide to invest $27,000 in a municipal bond that earns 6.15% and is federally tax free. Your tax rate is 28%, how much have you effectively earned after ten years, assuming annual compounding? (Hint: must use two formulas to solve this question) In other words, because you are not paying taxes how much have you effectively earned?
A lump-sum payment of $1,040,000 right now, in which case 45% will be deducted for taxes. We do not know the level of Archie’s investment skills and therefore are unsure what rate of return he will earn on the lump-sum. What is the present value?
You have $10,000 cash that you want to invest. Normally, you would deposit the money in a savings account that pays an annual interest rate of 6%. However, you are now considering the possibility of investing in a bond. Your alternatives are either a nontaxable municipal bond paying 9% or a taxable corporate bond paying 12%. Your marginal tax rate is 30% for both ordinary income and capital gains. (The marginal tax rate of 30% means that you will keep only 70% of your bond interest income.) You expect the general inflation rate to be 3% during the investment period. You can buy a high-grade municipal bond costing $10,000 that pays interest of 9% ($900) per year. This interest is not taxable. A comparable high-grade corporate bond for the same price is also available. This bond is just as safe as the municipal bond but pays an interest rate of 12% ($1,200) per year. The interest for this bond is taxable as ordinary income. Both bonds mature at the end of year 5.(a) Determine the real…
