Answer: 30.3%

Explanation:

Because taxes are not paid on municipal bond interest, their interest rates are usually lower with the difference accounting for the taxes paid.

For a municipal bond to be similar to a corporate bond, the tax rate must be such that it makes them equal:

Municipal bond return = Corporate bond return * (1  - tax rate)

5.75% = 8.25% * (1 - tax)

1 - tax rate = 5.75% / 8.25%

1 = 0.6969697 + Tax rate

Tax rate = 1 - 0.6969697

= 30.3%

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The amount of tax on a case of Cola is ;

= Selling price - Producer gain

= 6 - 2

= $4

The burden that falls on consumers is;

= Current selling price - Previous selling price

= 6 - 5

= $1

The burden that falls on the producers is;

= Selling price less consumer tax - Producer gain

= 5 - 2

= $3

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers. <u>FALSE. </u>

Whether the tax is on the producer or on the consumer makes no difference because the quantity sold will be the same. The statement is therefore false.
