- Harper is considering three alternative investments of $10,000. Assume that the taxpayer is in the 24% marginal tax bracket for ordinary income and 15% for qualifying capital gains in all tax years. The selected investment will be liquidated at the end of five years. The alternatives are: A taxable corporate bond yielding 5.333% before tax and the interest can be reinvested at 5.333% before tax. A Series EE bond that will have a maturity value of $12,200 (a 4% before-tax rate of return). Land that will increase in value. The gain on the land is classified and taxed as a long-term capital gain. The income from the bonds is taxed as ordinary income. How much must the land increase in value to yield a greater after-tax return than either of the bonds? Below are the factors for the compound amount of $1 and compound value of annuity payments at the end of five years: Interest Rate $1 Compoundedfor Five Years $1 Annuity Compoundedfor Five Years 4% 1.2167 5.4163 5%…arrow_forwardMr. Kato, who has a 35 percent marginal tax rate, must decide between two investment opportunities, both of which require a $50,000 initial cash outlay in year 0. Investment 1 will yield $8,000 before-tax cash flow in years 1, 2, and 3. This cash represents ordinary taxable income. In year 3, Mr. Kato can liquidate the investment and recover his $50,000 cash outlay. He must pay a nondeductible $200 annual fee (in years 1, 2, and 3) to maintain Investment 1. Investment 2 will not yield any before-tax cash flow during the period over which Mr. Kato will hold the investment. In year 3, he can sell Investment 2 for $75,000 cash. His $25,000 profit on the sale will be capital gain taxed at 15 percent. Assume a 6 percent discount rate. Use Appendix A and Appendix B.
