Corporate bonds rate of return = 10%

marginal tax = 20%

Computation of After tax return on municipal bond:

= 8%

Computation of After tax return on Corporate bond:

= Corporate bonds rate of return (1-Marginal tax)

= 10% (1- 20%)

= 10% (1-0.20)

= 10% (0.80)

= 8%

Therefore the municipal and corporate bonds after tax rate of return is 8% and 8% .
