    the Mitchell and the Sundial, Inc. should have a rate of 12.82%

    Explanation:

    a taxperson which the income of Mr. Jackson will be subject to a 22% tax rate

    22% from $39,476 to $84,200

    the bonds will be taxes at 22%

    and we are asked at which rate they yield a 10% after tax

    pre-tax x (1-t) = after-tax

    pre-tax x (1-0.22) = 0.1

    0.1/0.78 = pre-tax = 0.1282051
