QUESTION 1 Matt recently deposited $30,000 in a savings account paying a guaranteed interest rate of 4 percent for the next 10 years. If Matt expects his marginal tax rate to be 22 percent for the next 10 years, how much interest will he eam after-tax after the seventh year of his investment if he withdraws enough cash every year to pay the tax on the interest he earns? QUESTION 2 Dana intends to invest $20,000 in either a Treasury bond or a corporate bond. The Treasury bond yields 5 percent before tax and the corporate bond yields 6 percent before tax. Dana's federal marginal rate is 25 percent and her marginal state rate is 5 percent. What is the amount by which the yield on the corporate bond exceeds the yield on the Treasury bond. Assume that Dana itemizes her deductions and that any state income tax would be fully dedultible.
