Answer:
The double-exempt bond is the preferred investment because it has a higher after-tax return Tax benefit .
Explanation:
Calculatation of the after-tax return on both bonds
1)The double-exempt bond does not pay state or federal income taxes.
After-tax return =
Before-tax return = 4.9%
2)The tax-exempt bond is the state income taxes, but not federal in which the states can decide whether to tax their bonds or not.
Interest Income (100,000 * 5%) 5,000
Less: State taxes at 10% (5,000* 10%) (500)
Tax benefit from deduction of state taxes on federal return (500 * 35%) 175
After-tax Income 4,675
After-tax return = 4,675/100,000 = 4.675%
Therefore the double-exempt bond is the preferred investment because it has a higher after-tax return Tax benefit .
Hence the state income tax will be deductible on Juan’s federal tax return and Juan’s federal taxable income will be lower or lesser by $500 which will produces tax savings at his federal marginal tax rate of $500 * 35% = $175.
Answer:
13 years
Explanation:
Note that, if we add the annual interest rate of 7.9% to $8000 [(0.079*8000)+8000] we get a total value of $8632. We perform random division of the 8632 with 11 12, 13 years we note that at 13 years the total annual payment is lowest.
Such that 8632/13 years= $664 lower than paying $750.
