Answer:
9.635%
Explanation:
We shall use a table to compute different values as shown below.
<u>Investment</u>       <u>Return</u>     <u>Taxable amount</u>    <u>Tax Rate</u>       <u>After-tax return</u>
Dividend              9.8%             30% (n1)              18%             9.2708% (w1)
Municipal bond   8.8%              0%                      18%             8.8%
Corporate bond   11.75%          100%                   18%             9.635% (w2)
The after tax return with on the best investment alternative is 9.635% for corporate bonds
<u>Workings</u>:
W1
9.8 *0.3*0.18 = 0.5292%
Return after tax = 9.8% -0.5292% = 9.2708%
w2
18.75*0.18 =2.115%
Return after tax = 11.75% -2.115% = 9.635%
<u>Notes:</u>
n1 : 70% of the dividends are excluded from taxation. Only 30% is to be taxed
