Answer: 25%

Explanation:

Municipal bonds are tax-free which means that the tax bracket that would make you indifferent between the 2 bonds would be the one that brings the after-tax yield on the taxable bond to the same yield as the Municipal bond.

Assume this tax rate to be x.

8% * ( 1 - x) = 6%

8% - 0.08x = 6%

0.08x = 8% - 6%

x = (8% - 6%) / 0.08

x = 25%

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

A bond portfolio and a stock portfolio both provided an unrealized pretax return of 8% to a taxable investor. If the stocks paid no dividends, we know that the ________.

The after-tax return of the stock portfolio was higher than the after-tax return of the bond portfolio.

Explanation:

The returns from the bond portfolio are taxed at the corporate rate while returns from stock investments are taxed at a lower rate.  It is well-known that the risks from stock are higher than the risks from bonds.  As a result, the stock investments always attract higher returns and less tax, as the investor can postpone the tax for a longer term.   Again, stock investments can be for the long-term unlike bonds that have defined periods.
