Total taxable income$ 319,500
The marginal rate for this company is 39% (found on page 71)
The non-taxable dividends are:
$15,000 * 0.7 = $ 10,500
The tax is:
Tax Liability =$ 22,250 + (319,500 ± 100,000)*0.39 = $ 107,855

2.9 The Shrieves Corporation has $10,000 that it plans to invest in marketable securities. It is choosing among AT&T bonds, which yield 7.5%, state of Florida muni bonds, which yield5% (but are not taxable), and AT&T preferred stock, with a dividend yield of 6%. Shrieves’s corporate tax rate is 35%, and 70% of the dividends received are tax exempt. Find the after-tax rates returns on all three securities.
Invest = $ 10,000
AT&T bonds = 7.5%
Florida muni bonds = 5%
AT&T preferred stock = 6 %
Corporate tax rate = 35%
After Taxes
AT&T bond = 7.5% * 10000 = 0.075 * 10000 = $ 750
Taxes = 750 * 0.35 = $ 262.50
$750 -262.50 = $487.50
Yield AT&T bond = 487.50 / 10,000 = 0.04875 *100% = 4.875 %
Yield AT&T bond = 4.875 %
AT&T preferred stock = 6% * 10000 = 0.06 * 10000 = $600
Tax exemption 70% = 600 * 0.7 = $ 420
Taxable = $600 - $420 = $ 180
Taxes = $ 180 * 0.35 = $ 63 in taxes
$ 600 - $ 63 = $ 537
Yield = 537 / 10000 = 0.0537 * 100% = 5.37%
Yield AT&T preferred stock = 5.37 %
Florida muni bonds = 5%Muni bonds =10000 * 0.05 = $500
There are not taxable, so no taxes deduction.
Yield = $500 / 10000 = 0.05 * 100 % = 5 %
Yield Florida muni bonds = 5%
