Answer:

Explanation:

If a coupon paying bond is selling at par value, it means that the yield to maturity (YTM) is equal to the coupon rate.Therefore, these bonds have the following YTMs;

<u>Pretax;</u>

Corporate bond's YTM = 8%

Municipal bond's YTM = 5.5%

With regard to taxes, corporate bonds interests are not tax-exempt whereas municipal bond interests are.

<u>Therefore, </u>

<em>After tax YTM = ; Pretax rate(1-tax)</em>

Corporate bond = 0.08(1-0.28) = 0.0576 or 5.76%

Municipal bond ; will remain the same = 5.5%

The investor should select the corporate bond as it offers a higher after tax yield than the Municipal bond.
