Tonya, who lives in California, inherited a $100,000 State of California bond in 2018. Her marginal Federal tax rate is 35%, and her marginal state tax rate is 5%. The California bond pays 3.3% interest, which is not subject to California income tax. She can purchase a corporate bond of comparable risk that will yield 5.2% or a U. S. government bond that pays 4.6% interest. Hint: Don't forget to calculate any potential federal tax savings from a deduction from CA state taxes. What is the after-tax income form each bond?

    after tax income from corporate bond = 3.211%

    Explanation:

    given data

    State of California bond = $100,000

    marginal Federal tax rate = 35%

    marginal state tax rate = 5%

    interest = 3.3%

    yield = 5.2%

    Interest payment = 4.6%

    solution

    we get here after tax income from U. S. Government Bond that is

    after tax income from U. S. Government Bond = Interest rate * (1 - marginal Federal Tax) ... 1

    put here value

    after tax income from U. S. Government Bond = 4.6% * (1 - 35 %)

    after tax income from U. S. Government Bond = 2.99%

    and

    California Bond Interest not subject to California Income tax

    so most California state bonds are exempt from both Federal and California State Income Tax

    but certain bond is not meet all tax exempt rule

    so in some cases Federal Tax may be applicable

    so here in this case

    we have give interest not subject to California Income tax

    so Federal Tax is applicable

    after tax income will be = 3.3% * (1 - 35%)

    after tax income = 2.145%

    and

    If Federal Tax is not applicable

    then after-tax income = 3.3%

    so

    Corporate Bond Both California state tax and Federal Tax are applicable

    so tax payer is claim deduction either state income tax or state sales tax

    in itemize deduction for Federal Tax purpose

    so effective

    combined State and Federal Tax rate = Marginal State Tax rate + Marginal Federal tax rate * (1 - Marginal State Tax rate) ... 2

    combined State and Federal Tax rate = 5% + 35% * (1 - 5%)

    combined State and Federal Tax rate = 38.25%

    so that

    after tax income from corporate bond is = 5.2% * (1 - 38.25%)

    after tax income from corporate bond = 3.211%
