    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Marginal federal income tax rate = 30%

    Sum of your marginal state and local tax rates = 5%

    Yield on thirty-year U. S. Treasury bonds = 10%

    Municipal bond has a yield:

    = U. S Treasury bonds * (1 - tax)

    = 10% * (1 - 30%)

    = (10 : 100) * [1 - (30 : 100) ]

    = (10 : 100) * (70 : 100)

    = (1 : 10) * (7 : 10)

    = (7 : 100)

    = 7%
