    Municipal should offer at least 6.15 % after tax yield to the investor prefer them to corporate bond

    Explanation:

    We have given yield rate of corporate bond = 10.25%

    Tax rate for investor = 40 %

    Actual yield earned by investor will be equal to = yield rate of corporate bond * (1 - tax rate of investor)

    = 0.1025 (1 - 0.40)

    = 0.1025 * 0.60

    = 0.0615

    For converting in percentage we have to multiply with 100

    So actual yield earned by investor will be equal to 6.15 %

    So municipal should offer at least 6.15 % after tax yield to the investor prefer them to corporate bond
