Answer:

9.635%

Explanation:

We shall use a table to compute different values as shown below.

<u>Investment</u>       <u>Return</u>     <u>Taxable amount</u>    <u>Tax Rate</u>       <u>After-tax return</u>

Dividend              9.8%             30% (n1)              18%             9.2708% (w1)

Municipal bond   8.8%              0%                      18%             8.8%

Corporate bond   11.75%          100%                   18%             9.635% (w2)

The after tax return with on the best investment alternative is 9.635% for corporate bonds

<u>Workings</u>:

W1

9.8 *0.3*0.18 = 0.5292%

Return after tax = 9.8% -0.5292% = 9.2708%

w2

18.75*0.18 =2.115%

Return after tax = 11.75% -2.115% = 9.635%

<u>Notes:</u>

n1 : 70% of the dividends are excluded from taxation. Only 30% is to be taxed

Leni [432]

Answer:

<em>Employee stock ownership  plan</em>

Explanation:

An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is <em>a retirement plan wherein the employer contributes its shares (or funds to purchase its stock) to the fund for the advantage of the employees of the company.</em>

The company maintains an account for every employee who participates in the program.

Over time stock shares accumulate before an employee is eligible to them.

With an ESOP, while still working with the company, you never purchase or keep the stock directly.

If an employee is fired, decides to retire, is disabled, or dies, the company must transfer the stock shares in the account of the employee.
