In this case, Walter has $10,000 of taxable income from Corporation X (= $50,000 x 20%).

On the other hand, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and S Corporations are not taxed, they are pass through entities whose owners are taxed directly. In this case, Walter owns 20% of Corporation Z, therefore he must pay taxes on 20% of taxable income = $100,000 x 20% = $20,000.

Let Bond par value be 1000

Bond P:

Coupon rate=10%

YTM=7%

time=9 years

Calculation of current price:

Particulars Year Amount PV Factor YTM=7% Present value

Ineterest 1-9 years 100 6.515232 651.52

Value 9 1000 0.543934 543.93

1195.45

Current price =1195.45

Current yield=Annual interest based on coupon rate*100/current price

The current yield of Bond P=100*100/1195.45=8.37%

Bond D:

Coupon rate=5%

YTM=7%

time=9 years

Calculation of current price:

Particulars Year Amount PV Factor YTM=7% Present value

Current price =869.69

Current yield=Annual interest based on coupon rate*100/current price

The current yield of Bond D=50*100/869.69=5.75%

Capital gains yield

current price bond P=1195.45

Next year's price bond P=100°5.971299+1000*0.582009=1179.14

The capital gain yield on bond P=(next year price-current price)/current price

=(1179.14-1195.45)/1195.45

=-1.36%

current price bond D=869.69

Next year's price bond D=505.971299+1000*0.582009=880.57

The capital gain yield on bond D=(next year price-current price)/current price
