Explanation:
The after-tax income from each bond is given below:
• California bond
This will be calculated as the inherited amount of California bond multiplied by the interest rate
= $100,000 × 3.30%
= $100,000 × 0.033
After tax interest revenue = $3300
Note that there are no deduction for Federal income, and California tax here.
• Corporate bond.
Inherited amount of corporate bond = $100,000
Multiply: Interest rate = 5.20%
Before tax interest revenue = ($100,000 × 5.20%) = $5,200
Less: Federal income tax = ($5,200 × 35%) = ($1,820)
Less: California tax = $5,200 × 5% = $260
Less: Federal tax benefit = ($260 × 35%) = $91
After tax interest revenue = $3,211
• U.S Government bond
Inherited amount of U.S. government bond = $100,000
Multiply: Interest rate = 4.60%
Before tax interest revenue = $4,600
Less: Federal income tax = $4,600 × 35% = $1,610
Less: California tax = $0
Less: Federal tax benefit on the state income tax paid = $0
After tax interest revenue = $4600 - $1610 = $2,990
