    tax-rate 32.73%

    Explanation:

    The municipal bonds are tax-free thus, the private corporate bond is a pre-tax yield. We should solve for thetax rate which makes the 6.16% private bond yield 4.11% after tax:

    0.0611 x (1 - t) = 0.0411

    t = 1 - 0.0411/0.0611 = 0,32733224

    Being taxed at 32.73% will make the investor indifferent between these two options.
