Assume vandell, a individual taxpayer, is in a 25 percent tax bracket. he invests in otay mesa water district bonds that pay 4.5 percent interest. what interest on a taxable bond would provide the same after-tax return to vandell?

Explanation:

Otay Mesa Water District Bonds are tax free bonds.

They are giving 4.5% interest and Vandell's after tax return is 4.5%.

So we have to calculate a pre-tax return that would be providing the same after tax-return as of Otay Mesa Water District Bonds. Let's assume this return to be x%

Vandell is in the 25% tax bracket, so Vandell's interest will be taxed at 25%.

So,

x ( 100 % - 25 % ) = 4.5

x = 4.5/0.75

x = 6
