Do investors in high tax brackets or those in low tax brackets benefit more from tax-exempt securities? Why?
Do municipal bonds or corporate bonds offer a higher before-tax yield at a given point in time? Why?
Which has the higher after-tax yield? If taxes did not exist, would Treasury bonds offer a higher or lower yield than municipal bonds with the same maturity? Why?
Homework Answers
Investors in low tax brackets benefit more from tax-exempt securities. This is because the impact of tax is less on those in the higher tax bracket
Corporate bonds generally offer higher before-tax yields because the risk of default for corporate bonds is slightly higher than the risk for municipal bonds
Given that municipal bonds are generally taxed at a a lower rate, corporate bonds would have a higher after-tax yield
If taxed did not exist, Treasury bonds would offer a lower yield than municipal bonds. This is because Treasury bonds are virtually risk free, whereas municipal bonds are not risk-free
