To choose between taxable and tax-exempt bonds, compare after-tax returns on each bond.
Let t equal the investor’s marginal tax bracket
Let r equal the before-tax return on the taxable bond and rm denote the municipal bond rate.
If r(1 - t ) > rm, then the taxable bond gives a higher return; otherwise, the municipal bond is preferred.
