astraxan [27]

a. For basic earning per share

=  Net income ÷ Average number of outstanding common shares

=  ($16,888 - $1,483) ÷ 10462.282 shares

= $1.47 per share

b. Preferred stock dividends = Net income - Net income applicable to common shareholders

= $4,833 - $4,211

= $622

c. The net income applicable to common shareholders is

= Average number of common shares outstanding × Basic earning per share

= 10,527.818  × $0.40

= $4,211

= Preference stock dividend + Net income applicable to common shareholders

= $1,349 + $10,583

= $11,932

e. Average number of common shares outstanding is

= Net income for common shareholders ÷ basic earning per share

= $10,583 ÷ $0.94

A municipal bond is paying a 6 percent annual yield. An equivalent risk corporate bond is paying 7 percent. Investors with a tax
masha68 [24]

Answer:

14.29% or higher

Explanation:

Municipal bonds interest rates are tax free. Corporate bond rates however are have tac benefits through tax shield.

The formula for aftertax corporate bond rate = pretax rate(1-tax)

pretax rate = 7% or 0.07 as a decimal

aftertax rate(to be indifferent between the two) = 6% or 0.6

In order to be indifferent, the tax rate would be;

0.07 ( 1- tax ) = 0.06

0.07 - 0.07tax = 0.06

0.07 - 0.06 = 0.07tax

0.01 / 0.07 = tax

tax = 0.1429 or 14.29%

Therefore, Investors with a tax rate of 14.29% or higher would prefer the municipal bond.
