Answer:

32.13%

Explanation:

The computation of the break-even corporate tax is shown below:

As we know that

Municipal bond return = preferred stock return before tax  × [1 - (1 - dividend exclusion) × Break even corporate tax]

7.5 = 8.30 ×  [1 - ( 1 - 0.70) × Break even corporate tax ]

7.5 ÷ 8.30 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax

0.9036 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax

0.30 × Break even corporate tax = 1 - 0.9036

So, Break even corporate tax is

= 0.0964 ÷ 0.30

= 32.13%

Basically we applied the above formula
