Jason and Kerri Consalvo, both in their 50's, have $47,000 to invest and plan to retire in 10 years. They are considering two investments. The first is a utility company common stock that costs $47 per share and pays dividends of $2.35 per share per year (a 5% dividend yield). Note that these dividends will be taxed at the same rates that apply to long-term capital gains. The Consalvos do not expect the value of this stock to increase. The other investment under consideration is a highly rated corporate bond that currently sells for $1,000 and pays annual interest at a rate of 6.0%, or $60.00 per $1,000 invested. After 10 years, these bonds will be repaid at par, or $1,000 per $1,000 invested. Assume that the Consalvos keep the income from their investments but do not reinvest it (they keep the cash in a non-interest-bearing bank account). They will, however, need to pay income taxes on their investment income. If they buy the stock, they will sell it after 10 years.…
