With a 34% income tax, the yield will definitely drop significantly.

I think the post-tax yield will be lower than the nominal yield due to the taxes, but I can't recall if it's closer to 10.91% or 11.38%.

I feel like I might have mixed up the tax rates in my head. Was the capital gains tax supposed to be applied to the entire yield or just the gains?

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we had to account for both income and capital gains taxes. I think I might lean towards option B.

This seems straightforward enough. I just need to plug the numbers into the right formula and do the math. As long as I don't make any silly mistakes, I should be able to get the right answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll need to calculate the after-tax coupon payments and the after-tax capital gain at maturity, then combine them to find the overall yield.
