1. Suppose your tax bracket is 33%. Would you prefer to earn a 6% taxable return of a 4% tax-free yield from a muni?

A. Municipal bond preferred

B. Corporate Bond (taxable) preferred

C. Because 6% and 5.97% are VERY close, the difference is small enough that the preference would hinge on other factors, while technically, you would prefer the 6% taxable return, which has a SLIGHTLY higher 4.02% after-tax return.
