Asked by Shan
Corporate bonds issued by Johnson Corporation currently yield 8.5%. Municipal bonds of equal risk currently yield 6%. At what tax rate would an investor be indifferent between these two bonds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
The answer I keep coming up with is incorrect. I use this formula: 8.5(1-.06)=7.99, but when i work the homework problem in the book I get a different answer.
