question 9

Essay

To be indifferent between investing in the two bonds, the Moe's, Inc. bond should provide Namratha t same after-tax rate of return as the city of Watkinsville bond (4.5%). To solve for the required pre-tax rate of return we can use the following formula: After-tax return = Pre-tax return × (1 - Marginal Tax Rate).
Moe's, Inc. needs to offer a 6% interest rate to generate a 4.5% after-tax return and make Namratha indifferent between investing in the two bonds.
4.5% = Pre-tax return × (1 - 25%); Pre-tax return = 4.5%/(1 - 25%) = 6%
