A 3.25 percent coupon municipal bond with a par value of $5000
has 12 years left to maturity and has a current price of $4937.50.
The bond can be called in five years. The call premium is one year
of coupon payments. What is the bond's taxable equivalent yield for
an investor in the 35 percent marginal tax bracket? (Assume
interest payments are paid semi-annually and a par value of
$5,000.) Hint: Calculate the yield of this municipal bond (and
recall what you learned in taxation chapter about municipal bond
after tax yield).
