Required a: The fraction of portfolio income given as fees is:
Bond fee = (0.67 / 4.7) * 100
= 14.3%
Required b: The fraction of portfolio income given as fees is:
Equity fee = (0.67 / 19) * 100

You live in a country with a flat tax rate of 30% on all income, except for certain classes of tax-free municipal bonds. You are considering investing in two bonds that are equally risky in every respect except for their tax treatment. The present yield-to-maturity on the taxable corporate bond is 4.36%. Estimate what must be the equilibrium yield-to-maturity on the corresponding tax-free municipal bond so that will bear the same after-tax return? (The answer is a percent, round your...
