- I need solution help by real expert and true answer.arrow_forwardAn investor is in the 24% tax bracket and lives in a state with no income tax. He is trying to decide which of two bonds to purchase. One is a(n) 9.03% corporate bond that is selling at par. The other is a municipal bond with a 6.44% coupon that is also selling at par. If all other features of these two bonds are comparable, which should the investor select? Why? Would your answer change if this were an in-state municipal bond and the investor lived in a place with high state income taxes? Explain. O A. The investor should select the corporate bond. Since the fully taxable equivalent yield of 8.47% is less than the 9.03% return on the corporate bond, the corporate issue offers a higher return and is the better buy.
