Answer:

At tax rate 32.1%, investors be indifferent between the two bonds

Explanation:

Yield after tax of corporate bond = 8.1% * (1- tax rate)

Investors would be indifferent between the two bonds when Yield after tax of corporate bond equals to yield of tax free municipal bonds.

8.1% * (1- tax rate) = 5.5%

⇔ 8.1% - 8.1% * tax rate = 5.5%

Tax rate = (8.1% - 5.5%)/8.1% = 32.1%

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

C) $1000

Explanation:

First lets calculate the cumulative preferred stock dividend for 2 years

(1000 * 10 ) * 5% = 500 / year

so for 2 years = $1000 since it is cumulative and not paid in one year is added to next year.

Total dividend payable = $2000

so for common stock whatever is left over is paid thus,

Common stock share = Total - Preferred cumulative = 2000 - 1000 = $1000

Hope that helps.
