A municipal bond carries a coupon of 6.75% and is trading at par. What is the equivalent taxable yield to a taxpayer in a combined federal plus state 34% tax bracket

10.23%

Explanation:

Formula for computation of equivalent taxable yield is r = rm/1-t. Where the tax rate is t, rm is Yield on municipal bond and r is Tax equivalent yield

r = rm/1-t

r = 6.75% / 1 - 34%

r = 6.75% / 0.66%

r = 10.22727272727273%

r = 10.23%

So, the equivalent taxable yield to a taxpayer in a combined federal plus state 34% tax bracket is 10.23%.

answer/// equals both average variable cost and average total cost at their respective minimums;
